If I am reading the patch correctly, this removes the need for the
$GIT_DIR/BISECT_RUN file that used to be used to keep track of the
state?  If that is true, it is worth noting in the proposed log
message.

As far as I can see, nobody creates $GIT_DIR/BISECT_RUN anymore.

    $ git grep -e path_bisect_run -e BISECT_RUN
    bisect.c:static GIT_PATH_FUNC(git_path_bisect_run, "BISECT_RUN")
    bisect.c:	unlink_or_warn(git_path_bisect_run());
    builtin/bisect--helper.c:		BISECT_RUN,
    builtin/bisect--helper.c:			 N_("use <cmd>... to automatical...
    builtin/bisect--helper.c:	case BISECT_RUN:
    t/t6030-bisect-porcelain.sh:	test_path_is_missing ".git/BISECT_RUN" &&

What if a run script tried to read from (or checked the presence of)
the file for its correct operation (e.g. I would imagine that "do
this operation when run interactively, but do the same operation
silently when run from the git-bisect machinery" may be a reasonable
thing to do)?

This change just unintendedly broke such a script, didn't it?  The
change makes me a bit worried.

Nicely used sq_quote_argv() with RUN_USING_SHELL here.  Goodl.

bisect_state() does so much that it was a bit hard to follow for me
(who hasn't been following the bisect-in-C topic very closely), but
the code around here roughly corresponds to the following snippet in
the original scripted version.

I see that the contents of the file BISECT_RUN is shown to the user
in the original but is that part of what bisect_state() does, or did
we lose it during this round of conversion?

In any case, being able to check the return value from bisect_state()
and switch is so much nicer than having to sane_grep in BISECT_RUN.

Now this new one has the trailing comma.  I'd suggest doing so in
the previous step.

Thanks.
