You are writing BISECT_TERMS here...

...and here nearly in the same way.

So perhaps you could use a function like:

write_bisect_terms() {
      if test ! -s "$GIT_DIR/BISECT_TERMS"
      then
            echo "$NAME_BAD" >"$GIT_DIR/BISECT_TERMS" &&
            echo "$NAME_GOOD" >>"$GIT_DIR/BISECT_TERMS"
      fi
}
