After three GSoC/Outreachy students spent an incredible effort on this, it
is finally time to put a neat little bow on it.

Changes since v1:

 * Added a regression test to "bisect run: fix the error message".
 * Added a patch to address an error message that double-single-quoted the
   command.
 * Reworked the logic in "bisect--helper: make --bisect-state optional" to
   delay showing the usage upon an unknown command, which should make the
   code a lot less confusing.
 * Split out the change that moved the BISECT_STATE case to the end of the
   switch block.
 * Added a patch that replaces the return error() calls in
   cmd_bisect_helper() with die() calls, to avoid returning -1 as an exit
   code.
 * Dropped the use of parse_options() for the single purpose of handling -h;
   This is now done explicitly.
 * Simplified the diff of "bisect: move even the option parsing to
   bisect--helper" by modifying argc and argv instead of modifying all the
   function calls using those variables.
 * In the "Turn git bisect into a full built-in" patch, changed the name of
   the variable holding the usage to use the builtin_ prefix used in other
   built-ins, too.
 * Removed the trailing dot from the commit message of "Turn git bisect into
   a full built-in".

Johannes Schindelin (14):
  bisect run: fix the error message
  bisect: avoid double-quoting when printing the failed command
  bisect--helper: retire the --no-log option
  bisect--helper: really retire --bisect-next-check
  bisect--helper: really retire `--bisect-autostart`
  bisect--helper: using `--bisect-state` without an argument is a bug
  bisect--helper: align the sub-command order with git-bisect.sh
  bisect--helper: make `--bisect-state` optional
  bisect--helper: move the `BISECT_STATE` case to the end
  bisect--helper: return only correct exit codes in `cmd_*()`
  bisect: move even the option parsing to `bisect--helper`
  Turn `git bisect` into a full built-in
  bisect: remove Cogito-related code
  bisect: no longer try to clean up left-over `.git/head-name` files

          together. So it would appear as if a lot of work would have to be done
          just to be able to use `parse_options()` just to parse the sub-command,
          instead of a simple `if...else if` chain, the latter being a
     -    dramatically simpler implementation. Therefore, we now keep the
     -    `parse_options()` call primarily to support `-h` and little else.

>  * Added a patch to address an error message that double-single-quoted the
>    command.
>  * Reworked the logic in "bisect--helper: make --bisect-state optional" to
>    delay showing the usage upon an unknown command, which should make the
>    code a lot less confusing.
>  * Split out the change that moved the BISECT_STATE case to the end of the
>    switch block.
>  * Added a patch that replaces the return error() calls in
>    cmd_bisect_helper() with die() calls, to avoid returning -1 as an exit
>    code.
>  * Dropped the use of parse_options() for the single purpose of handling -h;
>    This is now done explicitly.
>  * Simplified the diff of "bisect: move even the option parsing to
>    bisect--helper" by modifying argc and argv instead of modifying all the
>    function calls using those variables.
>  * In the "Turn git bisect into a full built-in" patch, changed the name of
>    the variable holding the usage to use the builtin_ prefix used in other
>    built-ins, too.
>  * Removed the trailing dot from the commit message of "Turn git bisect into
>    a full built-in".

You've addressed all my feedback from v1, and I've looked over the
changes and they look good to me:

Thanks for tying the loose ends.  I've read the previous one and
also this round, and except for the parse-options bit I am not sure
about (read: I do not have a strong objection, but I do have to
wonder if there is a better way to achieve the goal), everything
else looks good.

Will queue.

Thank you for helping me improve the patch series!

After spending a lot of time to try to make it work, I realized that it's
in the name of `parse_options()` that it's not a `handle_subcommand()`
API.

So yes, I agree there is probably a better way (and e.g. `git bundle`
and `scalar` would benefit from it, too): designing a proper API for
handling subcommands.

That's safely outside the scope of the patch series, of course.

I think SZEDER has some out-of-tree patches to do that, for what it's
worth.

But it's not emit_usage_info() either (at least not directly), and we
also use it for that.

So this seems like a distraction from the feedback I provided on your
patch.

Which for one is that due to bugs in the conversion things that emitted
usage errors before are now silently accepted.

And that whatever we do to make things *easier* for
bundle/stash/commit-graph etc. when it comes to this, doesn't explain
why you feel the need to introduce yet another pattern of doing this,
when the existing "handle subcommands" built-ins do it rather uniformly,
and AFAICT there's nothing in the "git bisect" case that's special
enough that it wouldn't be served by pretty much copying that template.
