Subject: Is linux-next.git bisectable?

Stephen,

is the linux-next.git tree bisectable? I've noticed some trees are
not. For example wireless-testing.git is bisectable but only between
master-$(date) tags.

The individual trees that are being submitted to be pulled into linux-next
*should* be bisectable though. This is because only stuff is meant to be
shown to linux-next for which the question
"Cross-tree integration testing ignored for a moment,
if Linus had a merge window open today, would I ask him to pull this
tree right away?"
would be answered with a firm Yes.

Within any one day, the tree is bisectable, but not really between one
day and another. The tree is rebuilt starting from Linus' tree each day.
