In 06f5608c14 (bisect--helper: `bisect_start` shell function
partially in C, 2019-01-02), we changed the following shell
code:
- rev=$(git rev-parse -q --verify "$arg^{commit}") || {
- test $has_double_dash -eq 1 &&
- die "$(eval_gettext "'\$arg' does not appear to be a valid revision")"
- break
- }
- revs="$revs $rev"
into:
+ char *commit_id = xstrfmt("%s^{commit}", arg);
+ if (get_oid(commit_id, &oid) && has_double_dash)
+ die(_("'%s' does not appear to be a valid "
+ "revision"), arg);
+
+ string_list_append(&revs, oid_to_hex(&oid));
+ free(commit_id);
In case of an invalid "arg" when "has_double_dash" is false, the old
code would "break" out of the argument loop.
In the new C code though, `oid_to_hex(&oid)` is unconditonally
appended to "revs". This is wrong first because "oid" is junk as
`get_oid(commit_id, &oid)` failed and second because it doesn't break
out of the argument loop.
Not breaking out of the argument loop means that "arg" is then not
treated as a path restriction (which is wrong).

Compared to V2, this applies Junio's `SQUASH???` commit and improves
indentation in the commit message.
