It should be <path>... and not <paths>... in this:
     git bisect start [--term-(new|bad)=<term-new> --term-(old|good)=<term-old>]
                            [--no-checkout] [--first-parent] [<bad>
[<good>...]] [--] [<paths>...]

This is worth fixing not only for consistency but because path is mentioned in the subsequent text and paths is not.
