Description
I'm thinking that since we occasionally have broken master maybe we could have a list of known bad commits somewhere so that we can trivially skip them when doing `git bisect`. This can be emulated by first running the standard test suite and when it fails skipping but that's slow.

Research direction
The issue mentions the standard test suite and git bisect, but does not identify a file, test, or entry point to change. First determine where known bad commits could be recorded and how bisect would consume that list; done would mean bad commits can be skipped without rerunning the full test suite.
