Re: [PATCH v2 2/7] bisect--helper: reimplement `bisect_replay` shell function in C

I spotted another place where an optimization can be performed.

The "if (res) .. break" conditional is only used to break the loop,
which is the same job of the expression from the while-loop
itself. Hence, as the purpose is to control the loop execution itself,
checking the response of "process_line()" via the "res" value can be
move to the loop expression itself and simplifying the code further,
as shown on the following patch:

This also seems to be similar approach from "one_of()" introduced by
4ba1e5c414 (bisect--helper: rewrite `check_term_format` shell function
in C, 2017-09-29).

Once more, the intention is to simplify the code and improve the code
maintainability.

+	strbuf_release(&line);
+	strbuf_release(&word);
+	return res;
+}
+

I hope this helps increase the code quality.
Happy Holidays
