Re: [PATCH v2 1/7] bisect--helper: reimplement `bisect_log` shell function in C

Hi Miriam,

Reimplement the `bisect_log()` shell function in C and also add
`--bisect-log` subcommand to `git bisect--helper` to call it from
git-bisect.sh .

Using `--bisect-log` subcommand is a temporary measure to port shell
function to C so as to use the existing test suite.

Good. I see this was originally sent as [PATCH 20/29] in
https://lore.kernel.org/git/20200120143800.900-21-mirucam@gmail.com/ (local), but
this version contains improvements:

- It returns `BISECT_FAILED` in `bisect_log()` instead of -1 (and
  `BISECT_OK` instead of 0)

- Instead of checking for `argc > 1` (which was wrong), it now verifies
  that no arguments were passed via `if (argc)`

- It exits from the shell script appropriately when the helper failed

Just one nit:

If this is supposed to be a more permanent subcommand (and
https://git-scm.com/docs/git-bisect#_bisect_log_and_bisect_replay suggests
it might be), it would probably make more sense to describe the option in
less implementation-specific detail. Maybe something like:

	list the bisection steps so far
