I'd have spelled it (no branch, bisecting other) to make it clear that
we're on detached HEAD, and avoid confusing old-timers. But maybe your
version is enough, I'm not sure.

Yeah, I do not think "bisecting other" alone makes much sense.

What does "other" refer to when you start your bisection at a
detached head?  I personally think "other" has _any_ value in that
message, because "(no branch, bisecting)" gives the same amount of
information, especially because "other" does not say which branch it
refers to at all.
