Hello folks,

recently I noticed a change of behavior in "git bisect run" and since git-2.34.1-1.fc35.x86_64 it's stripping "--log" arguments of my to-be-executed script.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. git bisect start BAD GOOD
2. git bisect run ./myscript arg1 --log arg2 --log -- arg3 --log arg4

Results with 2.34.1:

    running  './myscript' 'arg1' 'arg2' '--' 'arg3' '--log' 'arg4'

Results with 2.33.0:

    running ./myscript arg1 --log arg2 --log -- arg3 --log arg4

Is this expected? In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2139883 Todd suggested it might be related to

    d1bbbe45df (bisect--helper: reimplement `bisect_run` shell function in C, 2021-09-13)

but I haven't tried it myself.

Regards, Lukáš
