Sometimes bisect logs have CRLF newlines. (E.g., if they've been edited on a Windows machine and their LF-only nature wasn't preserved.) Previously, such log files would cause odd failures deep in the guts of git bisect, like "?? what are you talking about?" or "couldn't get the oid of the rev '...?'" (notice the trailing ?) as each line's CR ends up part of the final value read from the log.
This commit fixes that by stripping CRs from the log before further processing.
A regression test that fails without the git-bisect.sh change, "bisect replay with CRLF log" has been added as well.
Were anyone to intentionally be using terms/revs with embedded CRs, replaying such bisects will no longer work with this change. I suspect that this is incredibly rare.

[RFC] bisect: fix replay of CRLF logs
I recently ran into a problem replaying a bisect log that was created
and edited on a Windows machine. During the editing process, the log's
LFs were converted to CRLFs, which caused git bisect replay to fail. In
my particular case, the error from git version 2.26.2.windows.1 was
"couldn't get the oid of the rev '...?'" (notice the trailing ?).
I was able to reproduce this problem in the current maint branch,
af6b65d45e (Git 2.26.2, 2020-04-19) on Ubuntu 18.04 as well.
This patch strips any CRs from the log during git bisect replay to avoid
these issues.
Is this change something that makes sense to add to Git itself?
I've opted to use tr -d '\r' to remove all CRs from the bisect log for
simplicity, but if there's a need to preserve CRs in the middle of log
lines, something like this will only remove a CR at the end of the line:
