[PATCH] bisect: avoid pipes to better catch "git rev-list" errors

From: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org>
Date: Mar 29, 2009, 09:58 UTC
Message-ID: <20090329115832.28acd74e.chriscool@tuxfamily.org>

When doing:

eval "git rev-list --bisect-vars ..." | {
        while read line
        do
                echo "$line &&"
        done
        echo ':'
}

the result code comes from the last "echo ':'", not from running "git rev-list --bisect-vars ...".

This means that we may miss errors from "git rev-list".

To fix that, this patch gets rid of the pipes by redirecting the output of "git rev-list" into a file, and then reading from this file.
