I'd rather see commits to "run tests with it" in a separate branch,
like, 10.6-bitfields. Not in the main branch, they only muddle the
history and complicate change analysys.

If you'd like I can create a separate branch for bitfields and
squash commits in the main branch into something that is easier to
digest.

Right. But non-existent commits mean you cannot check out the bitfield
code and run tests with it. It won't compile because columnstore will
fail to check out and cmake will stop before any compilation will even
be able to start.
