There used to be a dependency on python.  git-merge-recursive for
example, before it was converted to C.

Not "for example".  It was the only dependency of git.git on Python,
and the rewrite of merge-recursive was only done to break that
dependency, as I had a platform where I could not install Python.

But installing perl was no problem?  (Just curious)

Perl was installed, albeit in an ancient version, and compiling Perl
modules written in C was out.  It just did not work.

I wonder if it would then be acceptable to have a python script for
this generalised bisect?  Since it's not core functionality.   Not
quite sure how it would fit in though (I'd rather it was called from
"git bisect" rather than adding another separate git command)
