[GSoC update] Iterating over a stable series

Hi,

The post midterm work is suffering because I'm constantly rewriting the sequencer-stable series: I often resort to throwing away big patches that move functions from builtin/revert.c to sequencer.c. Hopefully, the latest iteration [1] will not require rewriting.

I'd like some early feedback for one of the "design patches" in my new series: I've chosen to use a commit + action to represent a todo_list. I'd initially tried a commit + opts keeping future expantion in mind (allowing instruction-specific command-line options), but the result is quite inelegant. Although commit message/ tests are missing, I'd like to describe the intent in detail:

This patch is a prerequisite for decoupling todo parsing from opts parsing. I want to decouple them so that I can achieve tighter coupling between "git commit" and the sequencer [2]. After that, I want to craft a nice API and move/ expose various functions in builtin/revert.c starting with the parsing functions.

Thanks for reading.
