Re: [PATCH v3 1/2] sequencer: extract revert message formatting into shared function

> The logic for formatting revert commit messages (handling "Revert" and
> "Reapply" cases) is currently duplicated between sequencer.c and will be
> needed by builtin/replay.c.
>
> Extract this logic into a new sequencer_format_revert_header() function
> that can be shared. The function handles both regular reverts ("Revert
> "<subject>"") and revert-of-revert cases ("Reapply "<subject>"").
> When an oid is provided, the function appends the full commit hash and
> period; otherwise the caller should append the commit reference.
>
> Update do_pick_commit() to use the new helper, eliminating code
> duplication while preserving the special handling for commit_use_reference.
