Wait, so what is the actual impact of this patch?
As far as I can tell, it is to introduce a remove_sequencer_state()
function whose eventual purpose would be to remove the .git/sequencer
directory used by "git cherry-pick" to record its progress. Paraphrased,
the function does this:
rm -fr "$GIT_DIR/sequencer-old"
mv "$GIT_DIR/sequencer" "$GIT_DIR/sequencer-old"
This way, a person has one level of "undo" possible, assuming git
commands and scripts use the function carefully enough not to call it
twice.
Is the "undo" feature advertised anywhere? Should this function write
a message to stderr to inform the operator about how to get back the
precious cherry-pick state?
If I were doing it, I'd squash this with the patch that introduces
"git cherry-pick --quit", to give an example of how the new function is
meant to be used (and tests!).
