Subject: rev-parse: use selected alternate terms to look up refs
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ca29184cc866c1ba966c65d33d83d5f8df7f4c05;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git

rev-parse: use selected alternate terms to look up refs

git rev-parse --bisect does not work when alternate bisect terms are
used, simply listing no revisions at all.

This is because a such bisect using e.g. "old" and "new" in place of
"good" and "bad" will name refs "refs/bisect/old" (or new) accordingly
so the hardcoded "refs/bisect/bad" (and good) yields no results in a
bisect using alternate terms.

Use the current bisect_terms to make rev-parse --bisect work in an
alternate term bisect.
