git pull is being converted from shell to C as part of the Google Summer of Code (cc'ing Paul Tan who is the student, and Johannes Schindelin and me who are the mentors) so there may be some merge conflicts arising if we go uncoordinated. See a planned timeline of Paul at [1]. Depending on your timeline, it might be wise to hold on a bit and then base your contributions on the C implementation rather than the bash implementation. git bisect fix/unfixed sounds interesting though (just today I tried to find a fix and messed up, again). I am not aware of the scope you're planning to contribute to within the git bisect fix/unfixed topic, though I'd like to share a result[2] of a discussion we had some time ago, on how git bisect can be improved (nobody did it yet though).
