The change to retire "bisect--helper" from the end-user facing error
message makes tons of sense, but I am not quite sure if the proposed
log message describes the change correctly. Or is this a fallout of
some "rebase -i" gotcha that a log message meant for one commit was
applied to a different commit, or something?
