pbranch cannot reasonably do this (it would involve tons of tentative
pmerges, and require changes to bisect). However, you can pexport your
patches to mq, and then use qpush/qpop -a in your bisect script, I
guess. This, of course, assumes your patches apply cleanly against all
of the changesets being bisected.
