It would be nice but there could be conflicts when pushing patches,
especially if you do the bisect over a larger range of commits. It
gets difficult if some StGIT patches rely on features not present some
of the commits you are checking.

Have you tried this idea manually (or with some scripts) and found it
feasible?
