Wrong placement of a new decl. Have a block of decls and then have
a blank line before the first statement, i.e.
char bisect_rev_hex[...];
+ int res = 0;
memcpy(...);
This comment probably applies to other hunks in the entire series.

Hmph.
This means that res == -1 and res == 1 from run_command_v_opt()
cannot be distinguished by our callers. Is that what we want here?
If that is really what we want, it probably is easier to read if
this were written like so:
return -abs(res);
> argv_show_branch[1] = bisect_rev_hex;
> - return run_command_v_opt(argv_show_branch, RUN_GIT_CMD);

Likewise.
