One unrelated thing that made me curious was that the output from git grep 'is the first ' had these two lines: bisect.c: printf("%s is the first %s commit\n", oid_to_hex(bisect_rev), git-bisect.sh: if sane_grep "is the first $TERM_BAD commit" "$GIT_DIR/BISECT_RUN" >/dev/null which means that we cannot localize this message without thought, unlike the usual "hey, this is end-user facing, so wrap it in _() out of spinal reflex."
