It might bisect to that commit, but I don't think that commit is the
real culprit here.
'git-bisect.sh' used to have a 'bisect_write' function (not
subcommand!), whose third positional parameter was a "nolog" flag.
This flag was only used when 'bisect_start' invoked it to write the
starting good and bad revisions. Then 0f30233a11 (bisect--helper:
`bisect_write` shell function in C, 2019-01-02) ported it to C as a
command mode of 'bisect--helper', and:
- Added the '--no-log' option, but since 'bisect--helper' has
command modes not subcommands, all other command modes see and
handle that option as well.
- Converted all callsites of 'bisect_write' to invocations of 'git
bisect--helper --bisect-write', but while doing so that one
callsite in 'bisect_start' was misconverted, and instead of
passing the '--no-log' option, it still passed 'nolog' as
parameter. Consequently, 'git bisect start' wrote a couple of
extra lines to '.git/BISECT_LOG'.
This bogus state didn't last long, however, because in the same patch
series 06f5608c14 (bisect--helper: `bisect_start` shell function
partially in C, 2019-01-02) the C reimplementation of bisect_start()
started calling the bisect_write() C function, this time with the
right 'nolog' function parameter. From then on there was no need for
the '--no-log' option in 'bisect--helper'. Eventually all bisect
subcommands were ported to C as 'bisect--helper' command modes, each
calling the bisect_write() C function instead, but when the
'--bisect-write' command mode was removed in 68efed8c8a
(bisect--helper: retire `--bisect-write` subcommand, 2021-02-03) it
forgot to remove that '--no-log' option.
