[PATCH v3] t6030 (bisect): work around Mac OS X "ls"

t6030-bisect-porcelain.sh relies on "ls" exiting with nonzero status when asked to list nonexistent files. Unfortunately, /bin/ls on Mac OS X 10.3 exits with exit code 0. So use "echo" instead.

 How about this?  (The echo is necessary because the argument
 to a case statement does not undergo filename expansion.)
