Subject: [PATCH 1/3] bisect: read run output from the open descriptor
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2026 05:35:57 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3fd365835d004c3b1463d8abd18dc7bc171466a0.1784180159.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2335.git.git.1784180159.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Harald Nordgren <haraldnordgren@gmail.com>

"git bisect run" redirects each step's output into BISECT_RUN, then
prints it back by reopening the file by name. Read it from the already
open descriptor instead; this behaves the same and no longer needs the
file to be reachable by name.
