That is arguing that the implementation of --am and --merge is too far
away from the sequencer and therefore should not be made closer.

By that token, has_unstaged_changes() should never be allowed to call
init_revisions(): it *never* looks at any revisions at all!

And the idea of the sequencer is so much more related to --am and --merge
than unstaged changes are to revisions: the entire purpose of the
sequencer (no matter the *current* implementation with all its
limitations) is to apply a bunch of patches, in sequence. That is pretty
much precisely what *all* members of the rebase family are about.

In other words: please do not let current limitations dictate that we
should introduce diverging code for essentially the same workflow.

Ciao,
Dscho
