sometimes its desirable to commit incomplete work separately,
for example a struct change thats intended to get compiler to report
where changes are needed.

if git bisect were to recognize  --skip-bisect  in the subject line
(or in commit-message somewhere, say top or bottom),
then bisection could proceed silently past such commits.

This would also allow rebasing a patchset to markup crappy commits
which need further work.

worth having ?
