Sounds like a site-local policy.

My developers' natural instinct is that the code should work when they
push, not after every commit. Elsewise they would spend a lot of time
rolling back and rebasing, something that most of them have no idea
how to do, and don't want to learn.

So my build-bugger system observes the changing value of tip, and uses
that for testing and bisection. It sounds like this is a not unusual
strategy.
