git bisect skip does this job.
But it's pretty surprising if you step on that and dont' know and being even 
more far off to understand whats going on.
That's what I meant with 'needs special care'.

You may be able to get asistance for a hand driven process of merging by 
subtree merge together with producing patches that get applied with git am 
without that surprising second merge parent.
May be an addrlib upstream repository that generates the required mesa side
upstream patch files already with the changed file paths by hook scripts helps 
somehow? And for the other direction as well using hooks in the mesa upstream?
No automatic pushes, but at least nothing gets lost and diverges too far.
... just to trigger ideas.
