This is the final output from git bisect:

Does that offer any hint about what is going on?

It is still bisecting, can you continue to bisect until it says
something like:

	first bad commit is ...

Incidentally, some but not all of the pulls produced additional
output.  Maybe it's a clue?

$ ~/tmp/git/install/bin/git pull
warning: Pulling without specifying how to reconcile divergent branches is
discouraged. You can squelch this message by running one of the following
commands sometime before your next pull:

  git config pull.rebase false  # merge (the default strategy)
  git config pull.rebase true   # rebase
  git config pull.ff only       # fast-forward only

You can replace "git config" with "git config --global" to set a default
preference for all repositories. You can also pass --rebase, --no-rebase,
or --ff-only on the command line to override the configured default per
invocation.

This is a hint in some version of git for 2 modes of pull, you can
ignore it.
