I do not think the OP meant by "a working tree subdirectory" using
the command in a secondary worktree.  SUBDIRECTORY_OK is about "can
the command be started in a subdirectory (as opposed to requiring to
be run only at the toplevel)?"

I am slightly negative on this change, though.  The subdirectory you
are sitting in when you start your bisection may disappear and reappear
as you dig the history, and I do not think the code makes anything
special to prevent the disappearing current directory from getting
in the way of bisection process.
