I'd have a way to add a commit range to something like a `bisect.avoidIfPossible` configuration. It would just treat any commit in there as `skip` by default and would delve in only on explicit requirements (maybe each range could even have an explanation for the exclusion so I can know whether it applies to my situation). However…

Git just generally has a problem with shipping configuration values around. I can't make bullet-proof commands for others to use because I don't even know what remote names are in use. I vastly prefer `origin` for the main repo and `$prefix/$username` for any forks (including mine and the prefix depends on the hosting service). Others prefer `origin` for their fork and `upstream` for the main repository. Useful aliases, hooks, etc. all have non-existent ways of being distributed in git today. We have a script that developers should run to at least match the docs, but that's not generally used.
