The file BISECT_NAMES is written by "git rev-parse --sq-quote" via sq_quote_argv() when starting a bisection. It can contain pathspecs to narrow down the search. When reading it back, it should be expected that sq_dequote_to_argv_array() is able to parse this file. In fact, the previous commit ensures this. As the content is of type "text", that means there is no logic expecting CR, strbuf_getline_lf() will be replaced by strbuf_getline(). Apart from whitespace added and removed in quote.c, no more whitespaces are expexted. While it is technically possible, we have never advertised this file to be editable by user, or encouraged them to do so, thus the call to strbuf_trim() turns obsolete in various ways. For the case that this file is modified nonetheless, in an invalid way such that dequoting fails, the error message is broadened to both cases: bad quoting and unexpected whitespace.
