Being able to bisect means that after each single commit the source
tree has to be in a state that is at least compile clean, even better
actually working.

If you split a set of changes that belong to and depend on each other
into two commits, you will have a situation where  the  tree  doesn't
build  after the first (but before the second) commit. This is a PITA
when you use git-bisect to track down bugs in the code, so we try  to
avoid it whenever possible.

I don't care how many patches you use (as long as it's a resonable
number and a reasonabel size), but each of them must be bisectable.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
