Noticed while reading the RelNotes for GitHub's release highlights blog
post.

I'm pretty sure that this is a typo for "not-so-uncommon", but I could
be wrong (in which case, feel free to drop this patch on the floor).

Thanks as always for highlighting more interesting bits from the
flat-and-bland-list-of-changes which is what I prepare as the
release notes.

I actually meant that this is "not a common mistake that deserves our
bandwidth but because a change was already made to help such a case,
why not take it".

We can probably rewrite _without_ mentioning our expectation of how
common it would be.

    A user can forget to make a script file executable before giving
    it to "git bisect run".  In such a case, all tests will exit ...

It's a pleasure to do. Thanks for maintaining the release notes in the
meantime which make my job much easier to do.

Ha! I wasn't sure if that's what you meant or not. I think your
suggestion below is an appropriate way to remove the ambiguity. Thanks.

Looks good to me.

Thanks,
