No, it doesn't. We first read all the "refs/bisect/good-*" 
and "refs/bisect/skip-*" and put them in some "struct sha1_array".
Then later we may lookup sha1 there from 2 different functions:
"check_merge_bases" first and then "filter_skipped".

This patch optimizes by not sorting before we lookup, so if we don't lookup 
anything, we pay no sorting price.

Best regards,
Christian.
