[PATCH v4 02/16] bisect run: fix the error message

From
Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date
Jun 27, 2022, 18:31 UTC
Message-ID
<97dd2da8f89fb918a49d4f70d8dcdad9652e5143.1656354677.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1132.v4.git.1656354677.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

In d1bbbe45df8 (bisect--helper: reimplement `bisect_run` shell function in C, 2021-09-13), we ported the `bisect run` subcommand to C, including the part that prints out an error message when the implicit `git bisect bad` or `git bisect good` failed.

However, the error message was supposed to print out whether the state was "good" or "bad", but used a bogus (because non-populated) `args` variable for it.
