These "bad" and "good" that are compared with term_bad and term_good are the literal tokens the end user gives from the "git bisect" command line. I do not think you would want to catch them with

    $ git bisect novo <rev>
    $ git bisect velho <rev>
unless the user has done
    $ git bisect --term-old=velho --term-new=novo
previously.

And that "custom bisect terms" case is covered by the last "else" clause in this if/elseif cascade (outside the context we can see in your message).

The only thing you need to do around here is to mark the string as translatable. I do not think we need "enum term", or term_names[].

Likewise for all _(term_good), _(term_bad) and use of term_names[] we see in this patch.
