[PATCH v2 21/21] bisect: get back halfway shortcut

From
Stephan Beyer <s-beyer@gmx.net>
Date

<1460294692-7402-1-git-send-email-s-beyer@gmx.net>

The documentation says that when the maximum possible distance is found, the algorithm stops immediately. That feature is reestablished by this commit.

Notes:
    I plugged a memory leak here.
