The few times I have used
git bisect, it has been on projects with no automated tests where the reported issue last worked far in the past. It isn't my first option, but it is what I turn to if I can't figure out what the correct internal state for some portion of what triggers the issue is supposed to be, saving a lot of time I could have spent banging my head into a wall.
