When switching to a new rev, we first made "new-bisect" branch to point at the chosen commit, attempt to switch to it, and then finally renamed the new-bisect branch to bisect by hand when successful. This is so that we can catch checkout failure (your local modification may interfere with switching to the chosen version) without losing information on which commit the next attempt should be made. Rewrite it using a more modern form but without breaking the safety.
