The implementation language of git bisect is not immediately relevant
here, but that the shell is used to call the user-supplied bisect run
script is.  If we'd run it directly (without RUN_USING_SHELL) we could
distinguish error code 126/127 from execution errors.
Yes, but it means that we'd need to reimplement command line
splitting, environment and variable substitutions, etc. in a
way that people expect from executing their run "script" with
a shell.

I'd rather not to see us go there.

Thanks.
