Unfortunately this approach doesn't seem to work if you run git bisect view from, say, cmd (probably applies to other non-Cygwin shells as well). I'm puzzled as to why this happens; I wrote a simple shell script that echoes $SESSIONNAME and no matter how I run it from cmd it always echoes Console.

It's certainly better than nothing and I wouldn't mind it ending up to the official git but...
