Due to a typo, the commit subject was shell expanded in the bisect log.
That is, if you had some shell pattern in the commit subject, bisect
would happily put all matching file names into the log.

This teaches "git bisect visualize" to be more useful in non-windowed
environments.
(1) When no option is given, and $DISPLAY is set, it continues to
spawn gitk as before;
(2) When no option is given, and $DISPLAY is unset, "git log" is run
to show the range of commits between the bad one and the good ones;
(3) If only "-flag" options are given, "git log <options>" is run.
E.g. "git bisect visualize --stat"
(4) Otherwise, all of the given options are taken as the initial part
of the command line and the commit range expression is given to
that command. E.g. "git bisect visualize tig" will run "tig"
history viewer to show between the bad one and the good ones.
As "visualize" is a bit too long to type, we also give it a shorter
synonym "view".

Bisect: use "$GIT_DIR/BISECT_NAMES" to check if we are bisecting.
Bisect visualize: use "for-each-ref" to list all good refs.
git-bisect: modernize branch shuffling hack
git-bisect: use update-ref to mark good/bad commits

Bisect reset: remove bisect refs that may have been packed.
Before this patch, using "git bisect reset" when not bisecting
did a "git checkout master" for no good reason.
This also happened using "git bisect replay" when not bisecting
because "bisect_replay" starts by calling "bisect_reset".

Now with packed refs, it is simpler to check if the file

starting bisection and removed when reseting bisection.

When switching to a new rev, we first made "new-bisect" branch to
point at the chosen commit, attempt to switch to it, and then
finally renamed the new-bisect branch to bisect by hand when
successful. This is so that we can catch checkout failure (your
local modification may interfere with switching to the chosen
version) without losing information on which commit the next
attempt should be made.
Rewrite it using a more modern form but without breaking the
safety.

When there are some "skip"ped revisions, we add the '--bisect-all'
option to "git rev-list --bisect-vars". Then we filter out the
"skip"ped revisions from the result of the rev-list command, and we
modify the "bisect_rev" var accordingly.
We don't always use "--bisect-all" because it is slower
than "--bisect-vars" or "--bisect".
When we cannot find for sure the first bad commit because of
"skip"ped commits, we print the hash of each possible first bad
commit and then we exit with code 2.

This allows you to say:
git bisect start
git bisect bad $bad
git bisect next
to start bisection without knowing a good commit. This would
have you try a commit that is half-way since the beginning of
the history, which is rather wasteful if you already know a good
commit, but if you don't (or your history is short enough that
you do not care), there is no reason not to allow this.

One bad commit is fundamentally needed for bisect to run,
and if we beforehand know more good commits, we can narrow
the bisect space down without doing the whole tree checkout
every time we give good commits.
This patch implements:
git bisect start [<bad> [<good>...]] [--] [<pathspec>...]
as a short-hand for this command sequence:
git bisect start
git bisect bad $bad
git bisect good $good1 $good2...
On the other hand, there may be some confusion between revs
(<bad> and <good>...) and <pathspec>... if -- is not used
and if an invalid rev or a pathspec that looks like a rev is
given.

git-bisect reset without an argument would return to master even
if the bisecting started at a non-master branch. This patch makes
it save the original branch name to .git/head-name and restore it
afterwards.
This is also compatible with Cogito and cg-seek, so cg-status will
show that we are seeked on the bisect branch and cg-reset will
properly restore the original branch.
git-bisect start will refuse to work if it is not on a bisect but
.git/head-name exists; this is to protect against conflicts with
other seeking tools.

There were some problems with the usage message clean-up patch
series. I hadn't realised that subdirectory aware scripts can't source
git-sh-setup. I propose that we change this and let the scripts which
are subdirectory aware set a variable, SUBDIRECTORY_OK, before they
source git-sh-setup.
The scripts will also set USAGE and possibly LONG_USAGE before they
source git-sh-setup. If LONG_USAGE isn't set it defaults to USAGE.
If we go this way it's easy to catch --help in git-sh-setup, print the
(long) usage message to stdout and exit cleanly. git-sh-setup can
define a 'usage' shell function which can be called by the scripts to
print the short usage string to stderr and exit non-cleanly. It will
also be easy to change $0 to basename $0 or something else, if would
like to do that sometime in the future.
What follows is a patch to convert a couple of the commands to this
style. If it's ok with everyone to do it this way I will convert the
rest of the scripts too.

It was surprisingly easy to do.
git bisect start <pathspec>
followed by all the normal "git bisect good/bad" stuff.
Almost totally untested, and I guarantee that if your pathnames have
spaces in them (or your GIT_DIR has spaces in it) this won't work. I don't
know how to fix that, my shell programming isn't good enough.
This involves small changes to make "git-rev-list --bisect" work in the
presense of a pathspec limiter, and then truly trivial (and that's the
broken part) changes to make "git bisect" save away and use the pathspec.
I tried one bisection, and a "git bisect visualize", and it all looked
correct. But hey, don't be surprised if it has problems.

As a convenience measure, 'bisect bad' or 'bisect good' automatically

The 'git bisect' command was very unforgiving in that once you made a

As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:
(1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not
have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
something is implemented as a shell script or not.
(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.
There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near
future.
