Looks good from a quick glance.
One unrelated thing that made me curious was that the output from
git grep 'is the first '
had these two lines:
bisect.c: printf("%s is the first %s commit\n",
oid_to_hex(bisect_rev),
git-bisect.sh: if sane_grep "is the first $TERM_BAD commit"
"$GIT_DIR/BISECT_RUN" >/dev/null
which means that we cannot localize this message without thought,
unlike the usual "hey, this is end-user facing, so wrap it in _()
out of spinal reflex."
