I think you'd have to hack it together on a per-project basis, but could you do it with containers? You'd have to identify the point where the build process diverges, make n copies of the container... (If I'm understanding you correctly). But there's not much that's faster than a binary search.

The problem isn't actually running the builds, so much as selecting the commits. Ordinary bisect gives you one commit to test at each step, and one result to report. But I want to be given n - 1 commits at each step, evenly spread out along the search range, and I want to report all n - 1 results at once, to cut the range by a factor of 1/n. If the testing process doesn't utilize all available cores, this will be faster than just testing commits one at a time.
