Use release_revisions() to various users of "struct rev_list" which
need to have their "struct rev_info" zero-initialized before we can
start using it. In all of these cases we might "goto cleanup" (or equivalent),

I didn't look at the bisect code, but the bundle one looks iffy from
the point of view of API cleanliness.  If we have not yet called
repo_init_revisions() on a revs, we should refrain from calling
release_revisions() on it in the first place, no?

It could be avoided, but I'd really prefer not to for this series.

repo_init_revisions() is a non-trivial function, and changing the
various bits in this series that can easily have a "goto" pattern
because we assume that { 0 }-init'd is safe to pass to
release_revisions() would be a larger change...

We assume that in a lot of other destructors throughout the codebase, I
figured we could leave this for later.

Is that OK with you?
