Unless the local patch fixes a major issue (or perhaps a build error),
I don't think separately reapplying local patches would "break" git
bisect but it would possibly introduce temporary readline-related
testsuite regressions which are not relevant unless you're already
bisecting a readline-related issue. I haven't used git bisect so I
may be wrong... But if that's the case then IMO it's worth the
"breakage".
