This allocation should be name_len + 1 for the NUL-terminator, no?
It looks like add_name_decoration in log-tree already handles half of
what you are adding here. Can we just make that available globally (it
is manipulating the already-global "struct decoration name_decoration")?
I also notice that we do not set r->type at all, meaning the decoration
lookup code in log-tree will access uninitialized memory (worse, it will
use it as a pointer offset into the color list; I got a segfault when I
tried to run "git rev-list --bisect-all v1.8.0..v1.9.0").
I think we need this:
diff --git a/bisect.c b/bisect.c
index d6e851d..e2a7682 100644
--- a/bisect.c
+++ b/bisect.c
@@ -219,6 +219,7 @@ static struct commit_list *best_bisection_sorted(struct commit_list *list, int n
struct object *obj = &(array[i].commit->object);

+ r->type = 0;
r->next = add_decoration(&name_decoration, obj, r);
p->item = array[i].commit;
p = p->next;
at a minimum.
It looks like this was a regression caused by eb3005e (commit.h: add
'type' to struct name_decoration, 2010-06-19). Which makes me wonder if
anybody actually _uses_ --bisect-all (which AFAICT is the only way to
trigger the problem), but since it's public, I guess we should keep it.
I think the sane thing here is to stop advertising name_decoration as a
global, and make all callers use add_name_decoration. That makes it
easier for callers like this one, and would have caught the regression
caused be eb3005e (the compiler would have noticed that we were not
passing a type parameter to the function).
