  the man page for "git bisect" makes no mention of "git bisect next",
but the script git-bisect.sh does:

#!/bin/sh

USAGE='[help|start|bad|good|new|old|terms|skip|next|reset|visualize|replay|log|run]'
                                               ^^^^
LONG_USAGE='git bisect help
        print this long help message.
git bisect start [--term-{old,good}=<term> --term-{new,bad}=<term>]
                 [--no-checkout] [<bad> [<good>...]] [--] [<pathspec>...]
        reset bisect state and start bisection.
git bisect (bad|new) [<rev>]
        mark <rev> a known-bad revision/
                a revision after change in a given property.
git bisect (good|old) [<rev>...]
        mark <rev>... known-good revisions/
                revisions before change in a given property.
git bisect terms [--term-good | --term-bad]
        show the terms used for old and new commits (default: bad, good)
git bisect skip [(<rev>|<range>)...]
        mark <rev>... untestable revisions.
git bisect next
        find next bisection to test and check it out.

  ... snip ...

case "$#" in
0)
        usage ;;
*)
        cmd="$1"
        get_terms
        shift
        case "$cmd" in
        help)
                git bisect -h ;;
        start)
                bisect_start "$@" ;;
        bad|good|new|old|"$TERM_BAD"|"$TERM_GOOD")
                bisect_state "$cmd" "$@" ;;
        skip)
                bisect_skip "$@" ;;
        next)
                # Not sure we want "next" at the UI level anymore.
                bisect_next "$@" ;;

  ... snip ...

so, is it supported or not? should be consistent.
