I already answered that.

But maybe we could communicate better if I do the questions:

How having lots of commits that break the build or just makes the
application crash is not a hurdle for automatic bisection? How could I
teach my script to detect such cases and know that the revision that
breaks the build is not, precisely, the one that introduced the bug I'm
looking for?
