Please add something in the commit message (above the "---") about why this new feature is useful. For example you could just say that it will make it possible to implement bisecting on first parents which is useful for people who don't test all the commits in the feature branch they merge.

Outside the commit message, so after the "---", you could say that this patch is based on pu so that it can be on top of hn/bisect-first-parent, and that this patch is not finished as it needs some tests. You could also have signaled that by using [RFC PATCH] in the subject (see the --rfc option of git format-patch).

Thanks, Christian.
