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.

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
