git switch after bisect finished

git switch after bisect finished

[Ed Avis]

Normally 'git switch -' switches back to whatever branch you were on last.  But if run after bisecting it gives an error:

% git switch mybranch
% git switch master
% git bisect start
% git bisect bad
% git bisect good HEAD~10
% git bisect bad [several times]
% git bisect reset
[goes back to master branch]
% git switch -

I expected it to switch back from master to mybranch but instead it gives an error
fatal: a branch is expected, got commit 'abc...'

I suggest the internal switching done by 'git bisect' should not affect the history saved for 'git switch -'.  Or 'git bisect reset' could also reset the history.

If that's not possible, then at least the error message could be improved.
