From: Christian Couder Date: Fri, 05 Jun 2015 20:24:48 GMT Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] git-bisect.sh : create a file if the bisection is in old/new mode, named "BISECT_OLDNEWMODE", so it can easily be seen outside the program without having to read BISECT_TERMS. This will have to be changed in further versions if new terms are introduced.

Also please note that I suggested to Antoine that the BISECT_BAD and BISECT_GOOD variables be renamed to something else, like I already did in some C files.
