I certainly wasn't arguing against bisectability :)

I just wanted to be sure how to achieve it would be described somewhere
to help git newcomers.  I used that as an example of what makes git not
very user friendly, like inventing some new terminology or use new
command names for things that have been used for years.

And before someone jumps on me, I am not arguing against git, I start to
like it.
