.. and perhaps we could introduce --bisect-refs as the "old behavior" of 
'--bisect' to git rev-list?

I kind of suspect that it is unlikely that people are using 'git rev-list 
--bisect' while _inside_ a bisection, but then wanting to bisect someting 
that is outside the set of commits we're currently actively bisecting.

But maybe I'm wrong.
