From: Pranit Bauva <pranit.bauva@xxxxxxxxx> Since we want to get rid of git-bisect.sh it would be necessary to convert those exit() calls to return statements so that errors can be reported. Emulate try catch in C by converting `exit(<positive-value>)` to `return <negative-value>`. Follow POSIX conventions to return <negative-value> to indicate error. In `check_merge_bases()` there is an early success special case, so we have introduced special error code `-11` which indicates early success. This `-11` is converted back to `0` in `check_good_are_ancestors_of_bad()`. Handle the return value in dependent function `check_good_are_ancestors_of_bad()`.
