I'd rather call them "flags" without "bisect_".  If we are passing
two sets of flags, one set about "bisect" and the other set about
something else, it would make quite a lot of sense to call the first
set "bisect_flags", but what we are seeing here is not like that.

You do not care what kind of "true" you are feeding "if()", so I do
not think you would want to keep !! prefix here.  Older API into
find_bisection() may wanted to say "pass 1 to find_all", in which
case, normalizing with !! prefix may have made perfect sense, but 
that no longer holds here.

On the other hand, this !! may make sense; especially since .first_parent_only
could just be a one-bit unsigned bitfield.

The set of bits to go to your "bisect_flags" are only these two new
ones, and the existing BISECT_SHOW_ALL does not belong to it (it is
a bit in rev_list_info.flags), but it is not apparent.  I wonder if
there is a good way to help readers easily tell these two sets apart.
These are flags passed to find_bisection(), so perhaps

    #define FIND_BISECTION_ALL (1U<<0)
    #define FIND_BISECTION_FIRST_PARENT_ONLY (1U<<1)

    unsigned flags = 0;
    if (first_parent)
	flags |= FIND_BISECTION_FIRST_PARENT_ONLY;
    ...
    find_bisection(..., flags);

would be a reasonable compromise?

Thanks.
