Why not? It is not like we will be adding any more synonym pair
beyond good/bad, so...

I think it is probably a good idea to cast in stone that we support
two pairs, i.e. good/bad or old/new. I would have said "or" instead
of "resp." above, though.

It makes it clear that we are not allowing arbitrary pair of words
to substitute the good/bad pair, which is a plus.

Good thinking.

It's kind of too long. Isn't BISECT_GOOD vs BISECT_BAD good enough
(and if so make bisect.c consistent with it).

If the point is to make sure "git bisect good" will error out when
we are in new/old mode, I agree (and also the other case/esac in the
remainder of the patch that allows you feed bad and new mixed).
These case arms look indented in a funny way, but is it only because
of e-mail quoting, by the way?
