Yeah, my suggestion was based on one assumption I did not mention, which is that we do not need to crowd "bisect start" with this option when we have "bisect terms", as long as "bisect start" does not have to take both "what are the terms" and "which commits are painted using which one of the two terms" on its command line, the "--name-" prefix was unnecessary. But if you are dropping "bisect terms" and allowing the terms specified only from "bisect start" as you mentioned in the cover letter of v11, that changes the equation. And I think "start is the place that sets up a clean slate, and that is the only place where you can optionally declare your custom terms" is a very sensible design. I do not have a problem with "--terms" prefix in that case.
