There's even a use "git bisect run" to automate it, see "man git-bisect".

Although in all fairness, for a one-off bisect like this, it's usually 
more pain to write the automation script than to just do it manually the 
handful of times you need to. You need to return a special value to say "I 
need to test this specially" - since "git bisect run" is designed to also 
return the 'is it good or bad' test value.
