Ah, I think I see better now.  What was confusing was

	git cherry-pick foo..bar

for which --skip would mean "abort the pick, but continue the pick".
It fits very well into your story.  There are two levels: "atomic"
(for lack of a better word) operations, like a single cherry-pick, and
sequences of operations.

(As for the more-than-two-levels story, I want it, but I agree with
you that that is tangential to this project.  I find myself attempting
to go back and rearrange earlier commits during an interactive rebase
very often.)
