bisect: new command to extend the bisect range (issue2690)

When bisect ends in a merge point, and one of the parent wasn't checked,
this usually means the culprit is in a branch that wasn't scanned.
For this case we provide a new command which extends the range of the bisect
search to the common ancestor of the parents of the merge.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import errno, os, sys

for f in sys.argv[1:]:
    try:
        print f, '->', os.readlink(f)
    except OSError, err:
        if err.errno != errno.EINVAL:
            raise
        print f, 'not a symlink'

sys.exit(0)
