I would like to add as a big asterisk to this statement that in
practice, big features often break things in subtle ways that are only
noticed some time later. It then becomes comparatively trivial to hunt
down the error by bisecting ten 25 line commits, when the converse is
figuring out a 250+ lines patch.
