even number of bands when nspinor is 2

Dear Abinit users and developers,
I wonder why the number of bands, for each k-point, should be even when nspinor is 2.
I found it when reading the definition of nspinor variable:
"When nspinor is 2, the values of istwfk are automatically set to 1. Also, the number of bands, for each k-point, should be even."
Thanks.
