Currently, when using a Git checkout with a Git branch build setup (i.e. git config core.webKitBranchBuild true) the various Perl tools (run-webkit-app, {debug, run}-safari, et cetera) don't work during a git bisect session because they can't find the branch-specific build of WebKit (since git bisect puts Git into a detached HEAD state). These tools are convenient to use when identifying a regression during a git bisect session. We should make the tools work in a Git branch build setup.
