'git bisect log' is implemented by a direct invocation of 'cat "$GIT_DIR/BISECT_LOG"', without any sanity checks. Consequently, running 'git bisect log' while not bisecting leads to an error, because the bisect logfile doesn't exists. The accompanying error message cat: /path/to/repo/.git/BISECT_LOG: No such file or directory is neither very helpful nor very friendly. Instead of blindly trying to cat the log file, first check whether there is a bisection going on (i.e. the bisect logfile exists), and die with a more appropriate error message when not.
