i'm using ubuntu 8.10 and git bisect visualize is crashing. Noticed when bisecting the kernel but it is easily reproducible

in git repository as of today

$ git bisect bad $ git bisect good HEAD~20

$ git bisect visualize                                                                  (03-12 12:16)
Error in startup script: can't read "notflag": no such variable
    while executing
"expr {!$notflag}"
    ("--not" arm line 2)
    invoked from within
"switch -glob -- $arg {
            "-d" -
            "--date-order" {
                set vdatemode($n) 1
                # remove from origargs in case we hit an unknown option
                set origarg..."
