No.  I'm simply allowing for the possibility that it was.

How do you propose doing that?  It's not possible to remove a revision
from a branch.  You either do a rebase (what I proposed), or you have
to reapply the reverse cherrypick on each revision tested in the
bisection (as Óscar proposed) because the reverse cherrypick is always
the *tip*, it cannot be applied "in place".
