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. Signed-off-by: Jonas Rebmann <kernel@schlaraffenlan.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
