Using struct strbuf is not really overrated but in fact required. But
yes, for this patch it might seem as overrated. In the shell code
initally TERM_GOOD is set to "good" while TERM_BAD is set to "bad".
Now there are a lot of instances (one of which is bisect_start()
function) where this can change. So if we keep it as "const char *",
it would be right to change the value of it after wards. And we cannot
keep it as "char []" because we don't know its size before hand.

I think I could use goto for this function.

Discussed above.
