Hi Phil,

"reset" is actually different from "abort": it simply removes the
sequencer state without touching the worktree, index or HEAD.  We
decided that this would be a nice low-level command to implement
(since I find myself doing `rm -rf .git/rebase-todo` sometimes).
Sure, "abort" and a lot of other porcelain would be nice- we can
always implement them carefully later :)

Thanks.
