I realised that the primary reason dirstate development has been slow is
I started with your prototype :).

There are many questions not answered about how to fit the apis together
- like my email about inventories yesterday, like what the internal
representation should be - using a vector means adding entries needs to
be batched, or we get O(n^2) memmoves occuring, etc.

So, until theres a really good object for accessing this stuff, I'd
really rather not have bisect code just assembled, thanks ;). I've got
bisect in mind as a use case, so its not being ignored.
