I think "git bisect" is very important part of git.

Linux's "submitting-patches" contains this text:

> When dividing your change into a series of patches, take special care to ensure that the kernel builds and runs properly after each patch in the series. Developers using git bisect to track down a problem can end up splitting your patch series at any point; they will not thank you if you introduce bugs in the middle.

( https://docs.kernel.org/process/submitting-patches.html )

So, as you can see, existance of "git bisect" is rationale for contributor guidelines!

Contributor rules written the way they are because of "git bisect"!!!
