Hmm, as "rev-list --bisect" is not end-user facing command (it is
purely an implementation detail for "git bisect") and we never call
it with --first-parent, I am not sure if it is worth labelling it as
a BUG.  Surely, the command can refuse to operate when it sees both
options given, but that would be a fairly low priority.

Of course, if you are planning to do "git bisect --first-parent", it
is one of the things that needs to be addressed, together with
counting the rounds and bisecting the linear set of commits on the
first-parent chain correctly.
