Subject: [PATCH 5/6] bisect: remove Cogito-related code
Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2022 10:47:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <patch-5.6-1b70cd79cae-20221215T094038Z-avarab@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover-0.6-00000000000-20221215T094038Z-avarab@gmail.com>

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

Once upon a time, there was this idea that Git would not actually be a
single coherent program, but rather a set of low-level programs that
users cobble together via shell scripts, or develop high-level user
interfaces for Git, or both.

Cogito was such a high-level user interface, incidentally implemented
via shell scripts that cobble together Git calls.

It did turn out relatively quickly that Git would much rather provide a
useful high-level user interface itself.

As of April 19th, 2007, Cogito was therefore discontinued (see
https://lore.kernel.org/git/20070419124648.GL4489@pasky.or.cz/).

Nevertheless, for almost 15 years after that announcement, Git carried
special code in `git bisect` to accommodate Cogito.

Since it is beyond doubt that there are no more Cogito users, let's
remove the last remnant of Cogito-accommodating code.
