With the regular meaning of the start subcommand, the revs given are ordered: bad good good...

With the reversed meaning, this would have to become: good bad bad...
This would have to be mentioned clearly in the documentation.
> git bisect good/bad/skip/run

Last time this came up on the list I suggested to add the following commands:

   git bisect regression  # a synonym for git bisect start
   git bisect improvement # your --reverse
