I think i'd be nice if stgit wraps bisect and you could write
$ stg bisect start
$ stg bisect bad
$ stg bisect good ORIG_HEAD
and after bisect checks out the files it pushes the current stack as
if you had used stg pull at this point

Yes, this sounds very useful for bisecting when you can't test the old
revisions as-is, e.g. because you have to patch for an unrelated bug,
or because you need a patch to trigger the problem.

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?
