The commit message says:
---
Merge branch 'ob/revert-of-revert' into seen

Instead of "Revert "Revert "original"", give "Replay "original""
as the title for a revert of a revert.

* ob/revert-of-revert:
  sequencer: beautify subject of reverts of reverts

---

However, the code uses `Reapply`, not `Replay`.

Thanks for spotting.

This comes from my working draft of the "What's cooking" report and
every time I merge the topic to any integration branch it is
extracted from there and used to annotate the merge commit.  I'll
update it there so that it will say "Reapply" when the final reroll
comes and it is merged to 'next' and down to 'master'.
