"git bisect" documentation was a bit sketchy on alternative keywords "new" and "old", that are used to signal if a command is from the part of the history that is newer or older than "a significant event" the bisection is trying to find. Here are two small patches that improves the documentation.

I am trying to flush my "stalled topics" queue. Here is a small and (hopefully) easy-to-finish one.

The original discussion was from early December 2023 and can be found at
