The goto is not necessary from a logical point of view; the binary
search is skipped even without it because the loop condition below is
not met anymore.

You could decrement "last" at this point as a micro-optimization, to use
all three possible outcomes of the comparison to make some progress.
Not sure if any of that would have a _measurable_ impact, though, so I
don't mind the patch going in as is.

Hmm, "last" and "first" are ints as well, so this will give weird results
when "last" > INT_MAX / 2. I thought 19716b21a4 ("cleanup: fix possible
overflow errors in binary search", 2017-10-08) got us rid of those, but
git grep -n '(.*+.*) >> 1' actually finds some more cases:
builtin/ls-files.c:376: int next = (last + first) >> 1;
diffcore-rename.c:26: int next = (last + first) >> 1;
diffcore-rename.c:86: int next = (last + first) >> 1;
dir.c:704: int cmp, next = (last + first) >> 1;
name-hash.c:349: int mid = (begin + end) >> 1;
read-cache.c:552: int next = (last + first) >> 1;
sh-i18n--envsubst.c:252: size_t j = (j1 + j2) >> 1;
(Not caused by this patch, of course, just noticed it in the context.)

Anyway, this here should work as well (and fix the possible overflow),
but may be too terse and quirky:
