No. That document where this is added does not explain at all how to
clone a git repo or add remotes, it just focuses on the bisection. So I
don't think we need to explain this here.

Documentation/admin-guide/verify-bugs-and-bisect-regressions.rst handles
such things, as it has a different target audience. Should it cover
-next as well? Not sure. I for now decided to focus on this addition.

Ciao, Thorsten
