Actually, you don't need to use bisect if you don't want to. Let me give you an example. Say you want to fix a bug for both trunk and 2.4. All you have to do is checkout the last common commit on which both trunk and 2.4 are based, and fix the bug on top of that. (Of course I'm assuming the bug is present in both branches. But presumably you've already established that.) Then merge into trunk and 2.4. We can make it even simpler to find these branch-common commits just by tagging them. Bisecting is a nice luxury but you don't need it....
