[PATCH 16/18] revert: Remove sequencer state when no commits are pending

When cherry-pick or revert is called on a list of commits, and a conflict encountered somewhere in the middle, the data in ".git/sequencer" is required to continue the operation. However, when a conflict is encountered in the very last commit, the user will have to "continue" after resolving the conflict and committing just so that the sequencer state is removed. This is how the current "rebase -i" script works as well.

$ git cherry-pick foo..bar ... conflict encountered while picking "bar" ... $ echo "resolved" >problematicfile $ git add problematicfile $ git commit $ git cherry-pick --continue # This would be a noop

Change this so that the sequencer state is cleared when a conflict is encountered in the last commit. Incidentally, this patch makes sure that some existing tests don't break when features like "--reset" and "--continue" are implemented later in the series.
