[PATCH 0/6] Towards a generalized sequencer

Hi,

I've prepared a nicer series after Jonathan's feedback on the previous one. No new ideas; just the same ideas implemented in a more sane way. The first three patches fix some minor annoyances and don't dontribute much to the series in general. The fourth patch implements a very important idea: the ability to parse a general (action, operand) pair in the instruction sheet. The fifth patch may come as a real shocker; I was shocked myself, but I'm now convinced that this is the right way forward. Since it's only code movement, it should be very easy to review. The final patch solves a long-standing problem by introducing tighter coupling between 'git commit' and the sequencer.

Thanks for lending a ear.  Enjoy reading the rest!

Note: I didn't know what to do with the license header in the fifth
patch.  I just assumed that it was some historical cruft and removed
it.

  revert: Parse instruction sheet more cautiously
  revert: Allow mixed pick and revert instructions
  sequencer: Expose API to cherry-picking machinery
  sequencer: Remove sequencer state after final commit
