... I have to wonder if it is a bug that "cherry-pick" proceeds when
there is an ongoing "rebase" going on, though.  When a sequencer is
driving a cherry-pick of master..topic1 and the user gets control
back in the middle, perhaps due to a conflict, should the user be
allowed to do "cherry-pick master..topic2", splicing these commits
from the other topic in the middle of the first cherry-pick session
the user started?
