Subject: [PATCH] git-rev-list: add --bisect-vars option.

This adds --bisect-vars option to rev-list.  The output is suitable
for `eval` in shell and defines five variables:

 - bisect_rev is the next revision to test.
 - bisect_nr is the expected number of commits to test after
   bisect_rev is tested.
 - bisect_good is the expected number of commits to test
   if bisect_rev turns out to be good.
 - bisect_bad is the expected number of commits to test
   if bisect_rev turns out to be bad.
 - bisect_all is the number of commits we are bisecting right now.

The documentation text was partly stolen from Johannes
Schindelin's patch.

+This calculates the same as `--bisect`, but outputs text ready
+to be eval'ed by the shell. These lines will assign the name of
+the midpoint revision to the variable `bisect_rev`, and the
+expected number of commits to be tested after `bisect_rev` is
+tested to `bisect_nr`, the expected number of commits to be
+tested if `bisect_rev` turns out to be good to `bisect_good`,
+the expected number of commits to be tested if `bisect_rev`
+turns out to be bad to `bisect_bad`, and the number of commits
+we are bisecting right now to `bisect_all`.
