As per the code comment, the `.git/head-name` files were cleaned up for
backwards-compatibility: an old version of `git bisect` could have left
them behind.
Now, just how old would such a version be? As of 0f497e75f0 (Eliminate
confusing "won't bisect on seeked tree" failure, 2008-02-23), `git
bisect` does not write that file anymore. Which corresponds to Git
v1.5.4.4.
Even if the likelihood is non-nil that there might still be users out
there who use such an old version to start a bisection, but then decide
to continue bisecting with a current Git version, it is highly
improbable.
So let's remove that code, at long last.

In d1bbbe45df (bisect--helper: reimplement `bisect_run` shell function
in C, 2021-09-13), we ported the `bisect run` subcommand to C, including
the part that prints out an error message when the implicit `git bisect
bad` or `git bisect good` failed.
However, the error message was supposed to print out whether the state
was "good" or "bad", but used a bogus (because non-populated) `args`
variable for it. This was fixed in [1], but as of [2] (when
`bisect--helper` was changed to the present `bisect-state') the error
message still talks about implementation details that should not
concern end users.
Fix that, and add a regression test to ensure that the intended form of

When d1bbbe45df (bisect--helper: reimplement `bisect_run` shell
function in C, 2021-09-13) reimplemented parts of "git bisect run" in
C it changed the output we emitted so that:
- The "running ..." line was now quoted
- We lost the \n after our output
- We started saying "bisect found ..." instead of "bisect run success"
Arguably some of this is better now, but as d1bbbe45df did not
advocate for changing the output, let's revert this for now. It'll be
easy to change it back if that's what we'd prefer.
This does not change the one remaining use of "command.buf" to emit
the quoted argument, as that's new in d1bbbe45df.
Some of these cases were not tested for in the tests added in the

There was also a "regression" where:

There was another regression that 'git bisect' consumed some options

As of it is, we're parsing subcommand with OPT_CMDMODE, which will
continue to parse more options even if the command has been found.
When we're running "git bisect run" with a command that expecting
a "--log" or "--no-log" arguments, or one of those "--bisect-..."
arguments, bisect--helper may mistakenly think those options are
bisect--helper's option.
We may fix those problems by passing "--" when calling from
git-bisect.sh, and skip that "--" in bisect--helper. However, it may
interfere with user's "--".
Let's parse subcommand with OPT_SUBCOMMAND since that API was born for

Commit 73c6de06af ("bisect: don't use invalid oid as rev when
starting") changes the behaviour of `git bisect` to consider invalid
oids as pathspecs again, as in the old shell implementation.
While that behaviour may be desirable, it can also cause confusion. For
example, while bisecting in a particular repo I encountered this:
$ git bisect start d93ff48803f0 v6.3
$
...which led to me sitting for a few moments, wondering why there's no
printout stating the first rev to check.
It turns out that the tag was actually "6.3", not "v6.3", and thus the
bisect was still silently started with only a bad rev, because
d93ff48803f0 was a valid oid and "v6.3" was silently considered to be a
pathspec.
While this behaviour may be desirable, it can be confusing, especially
with different repo conventions either using or not using "v" before
release names, or when a branch name or tag is simply misspelled on the
command line.
In order to avoid situations like this, make it more clear what we're
waiting for:
$ git bisect start d93ff48803f0 v6.3
status: waiting for good commit(s), bad commit known
We already have good output once the bisect process has begun in
earnest, so we don't need to do anything more there.

When a run command cannot be executed or found, shells return exit code
126 or 127, respectively. Valid run commands are allowed to return
these codes as well to indicate bad revisions, though, for historical
reasons. This means typos can cause bogus bisect runs that go over the
full distance and end up reporting invalid results.
The best solution would be to reserve exit codes 126 and 127, like
71b0251cdd (Bisect run: "skip" current commit if script exit code is
125., 2007-10-26) did for 125, and abort bisect run when we get them.
That might be inconvenient for those who relied on the documentation
stating that 126 and 127 can be used for bad revisions, though.
The workaround used by this patch is to run the command on a known-good
revision and abort if we still get the same error code. This adds one
step to runs with scripts that use exit codes 126 and 127, but keeps
them supported, with one exception: It won't work with commands that
cannot recognize the (manually marked) known-good revision as such.
Run commands that use low exit codes are unaffected. Typos are reported
after executing the missing command twice and three checkouts (the first
step, the known good revision and back to the revision of the first
step).

Commit e4c7b33747 ("bisect--helper: reimplement `bisect_skip` shell
function in C", 2021-02-03), as part of the shell-to-C conversion,
forgot to read the 'terms' file (.git/BISECT_TERMS) during the new
'bisect skip' command implementation. As a result, the 'bisect skip'
command will use the default 'bad'/'good' terms. If the bisection
terms have been set to non-default values (for example by the
'bisect start' command), then the 'bisect skip' command will fail.
In order to correct this problem, we insert a call to the get_terms()
function, which reads the non-default terms from that file (if set),
in the '--bisect-skip' command implementation of 'bisect--helper'.
Also, add a test[1] to protect against potential future regression.

"git bisect" reimplemented more in C during 2.30 timeframe did not
take an annotated tag as a good/bad endpoint well. This regression
has been corrected.
* jk/bisect-peel-tag-fix:
bisect: peel annotated tags to commits
This patch fixes a bug where git-bisect doesn't handle receiving
annotated tags as "git bisect good <tag>", etc. It's a regression in
27257bc466 (bisect--helper: reimplement `bisect_state` & `bisect_head`
shell functions in C, 2020-10-15).
The original shell code called:
sha=$(git rev-parse --verify "$rev^{commit}") ||
die "$(eval_gettext "Bad rev input: \$rev")"
which will peel the input to a commit (or complain if that's not
possible). But the C code just calls get_oid(), which will yield the oid
of the tag.
The fix is to peel to a commit. The error message here is a little
non-idiomatic for Git (since it starts with a capital). I've mostly left
it, as it matches the other converted messages (like the "Bad rev input"
we print when get_oid() fails), though I did add an indication that it
was the peeling that was the problem. It might be worth taking a pass
through this converted code to modernize some of the error messages.
Note also that the test does a bare "grep" (not i18ngrep) on the
expected "X is the first bad commit" output message. This matches the
rest of the test script.

In addition to the manual adjustment to let the `linux-gcc` CI job run
the test suite with `master` and then with `main`, this patch makes sure
that GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME is set in all test scripts
that currently rely on the initial branch name being `master by default.
To determine which test scripts to mark up, the first step was to
force-set the default branch name to `master` in
- all test scripts that contain the keyword `master`,
- t4211, which expects `t/t4211/history.export` with a hard-coded ref to
initialize the default branch,
- t5560 because it sources `t/t556x_common` which uses `master`,
- t8002 and t8012 because both source `t/annotate-tests.sh` which also
uses `master`)
This trick was performed by this command:
$ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/\(test-lib\|lib-\(bash\|cvs\|git-svn\)\|gitweb-lib\)\.sh$/i\
GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\
export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\
' $(git grep -l master t/t[0-9]*.sh) \
t/t4211*.sh t/t5560*.sh t/t8002*.sh t/t8012*.sh
After that, careful, manual inspection revealed that some of the test
scripts containing the needle `master` do not actually rely on a
specific default branch name: either they mention `master` only in a
comment, or they initialize that branch specificially, or they do not
actually refer to the current default branch. Therefore, the
aforementioned modification was undone in those test scripts thusly:
$ git checkout HEAD -- \
t/t0027-auto-crlf.sh t/t0060-path-utils.sh \
t/t1011-read-tree-sparse-checkout.sh \

We excluded one set of test scripts in these commands, though: the range
of `git p4` tests. The reason? `git p4` stores the (foreign) remote
branch in the branch called `p4/master`, which is obviously not the
default branch. Manual analysis revealed that only five of these tests
actually require a specific default branch name to pass; They were
modified thusly:
$ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/lib-git-p4\.sh$/i\
GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\

In 06f5608c14 (bisect--helper: `bisect_start` shell function

- break
- }
- revs="$revs $rev"

+ if (get_oid(commit_id, &oid) && has_double_dash)
+ die(_("'%s' does not appear to be a valid "
+ "revision"), arg);
+
+ string_list_append(&revs, oid_to_hex(&oid));
+ free(commit_id);
In case of an invalid "arg" when "has_double_dash" is false, the old
code would "break" out of the argument loop.
In the new C code though, `oid_to_hex(&oid)` is unconditonally
appended to "revs". This is wrong first because "oid" is junk as
`get_oid(commit_id, &oid)` failed and second because it doesn't break
out of the argument loop.
Not breaking out of the argument loop means that "arg" is then not
treated as a path restriction (which is wrong).

Compute several object ID values instead of hard-coding them, and use
test_oid_to_path to cleanly produce a path for an object.
Note that the bisect code which is tested here remains sensitive to the
hash algorithm in use because it uses the object ID to disambiguate
between two equidistant commits. Fortunately, SHA-1 and SHA-256
disambiguate identically in the cases we care about, so there is no need
to modify the test to accommodate this situation. However, if a further
hash algorithm change occurs, this test may require some restructuring.

After completing a bisection, we print out the commit we found using an
internal version of diff-tree. The result is aesthetically lacking:
- it shows a raw diff, which is generally less informative for human
readers than "--stat --summary" (which we already decided was nice
for humans in format-patch's output).
- by not abbreviating hashes, the result is likely to wrap on most
people's terminals
- we don't use "-r", so if the commit touched files in a directory,
you only get to see the top-level directory mentioned
- we don't specify "--cc" or similar, so merges print nothing (not
even the commit message!)
Even though bisect might be driven by scripts, there's no reason to
consider this part of the output as machine-readable (if anything, the
initial "$hash is the first bad commit" might be parsed, but we won't
touch that here). Let's make it prettier and more informative for a
human reading the output.
While we're tweaking the options, let's also switch to using the diff
"ui" config. If we're accepting that this is human-readable output, then
we should respect the user's options for how to display it.
Note that we have to touch a few tests in t6030. These check bisection
in a corrupted repository (it's missing a subtree). They didn't fail
with the previous code, because it didn't actually recurse far enough in
the diff to find the broken tree. But now we'll see the corruption and
complain.
Adjusting the tests to expect the die() is the best fix. We still
confirm that we're able to bisect within the broken repo. And we'll
still print "$hash is the first bad commit" as usual before dying;
showing that is a reasonable outcome in a corrupt repository (and was
what might happen already, if the root tree was corrupt).

Reimplement the `get_terms` and `bisect_terms` shell function in C and
add `bisect-terms` subcommand to `git bisect--helper` to call it from
git-bisect.sh .
Using `--bisect-terms` subcommand is a temporary measure to port shell
function in C so as to use the existing test suite. As more functions
are ported, this subcommand will be retired but its implementation will
be called by some other methods.
Also use error() to report "no terms defined" and accordingly change the
test in t6030.
We need to use PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN here to allow for parameters that
look like options (e.g --term-good) but should not be parsed by
cmd_bisect__helper(). This change is safe because all other cmdmodes have
strict argc checks already.

Add test to explicitly check that 'git bisect reset' is working as

This allows a natural user-interface when looking for any change in the
code, not just regression. For example:
git bisect start --term-old fast --term-new slow
git bisect fast
git bisect slow
...
There were several proposed user-interfaces for this feature. This patch
implements it as options to 'git bisect start' for the following reasons:
* By construction, the terms will be valid for one and only one
bisection.
* Unlike positional arguments, using named options avoid having to
remember an order.
* We can combine user-defined terms and passing old/new commits as
argument to "git bisect start".
* The implementation is relatively simple.

When not looking for a regression during a bisect but for a fix or a
change in another given property, it can be confusing to use 'good'
and 'bad'.
This patch introduce `git bisect new` and `git bisect old` as an
alternative to 'bad' and good': the commits which have a certain
property must be marked as `new` and the ones which do not as `old`.
The output will be the first commit after the change in the property.
During a new/old bisect session you cannot use bad/good commands and
vice-versa.
Some commands are still not available for old/new:
* git rev-list --bisect does not treat the revs/bisect/new and
revs/bisect/old-SHA1 files.

We can get rid of a lot of hand-rolled error messages by
using test_must_fail and test_expect_code. The existing code
was careful to use "|| return 1" when breaking the
&&-chain, but it did fool --chain-lint; the new code is more
idiomatic.
We also add some uses of test_when_finished, which is less
cryptic and more robust than putting code at the end of a
test. In two cases we run "git bisect reset" from a
subshell, which is a problem for test_when_finished (it
would not run). However, in both of these cases, we are
performing the tests in one-off sub-repos, so we do not need
to clean up at all (and in fact it is nicer not to if the
user wants to inspect the trash directory after a failure).
