OK, makes sense-ish: at least in the context of preparing for the
bisection algorithm to change. The subject line leaves a bit to be
desired, though. Perhaps:

  t6030: handle equivalent bisection points gracefully

This is somewhat uncommon style for Git's test suite. It might be more
appropriate to write instead:

    if test "$HASH3" = "$(git rev-parse HEAD)"
    then
      git bisect skip
    fi &&
    # ...

It looks like this comment should have gone above the start of the test
in the previous hunk.

But it looks like you accidentally duplicated this test in its entirety
(with the addition of the misplaced comment) below instead.

Thanks,
