Subject: [Outreachy] [PATCH v2] bisect--helper: convert `*_warning` char pointers to char arrays.
Message-ID: <20191214081124.28851-1-mirucam@gmail.com>

From: Tanushree Tumane <tanushreetumane@gmail.com>

Instead of using a pointer that points at a constant string,
just give name directly to the constant string; this way, we
do not have to allocate a pointer variable in addition to
the string we want to use.

Let's convert `need_bad_and_good_revision_warning` and
`need_bisect_start_warning` char pointers to char arrays.
