All these xstrdup() for the terms here and below will leak memory.

I recommend to use xstrdup() also at (*) below, and use
free(terms->term_good) above this line (and for every occurrence below,
of course).

Here is (*): use xstrdup("good") etc.

And then, as already mentioned for another patch, free(terms.*) below.



I personally am a friend of small functions and would prefer something
like as follows...  (This is a comment about several patches of your
series, not only this one.)

First, replace the current set_terms() by

static void set_terms(struct bisect_terms *terms, const char *bad,
                                                 const char *good)
{
	terms->term_good = xstrdup(good);
	terms->term_bad = xstrdup(bad);
}

ie, without calling write_terms(...).
And then replace the *current* set_terms() calls by set_terms(...);
write_terms(...); calls.

Second, add

static void get_default_terms(struct bisect_terms *terms)
{
	set_terms(terms, "bad", "good");
}

and use this instead of the two lines quoted above (and all its other
occurrences).

Third, use the new set_terms() everywhere instead of settings terms
members directly (with the exception of get_terms()).

This sounds like a safer variant (with respect to leaks and handling
them) to me than doing it the current way.
