You may often find that during bisect you want to have near-constant

temporary modifications (e.g. s/#define DEBUG 0/#define DEBUG 1/ in a

patch applied to work around another problem this bisection is not
interested in") applied to the revision being tested.
To cope with such a situation, after the inner 'git bisect' finds the
next revision to test, with the "run" script, you can apply that tweak
before compiling, run the real test, and after the test decides if the
revision (possibly with the needed tweaks) passed the test, rewind the
tree to the pristine state. Finally the "run" script can exit with
the status of the real test to let the "git bisect run" command loop to
determine the outcome.
