By the way, do you know what happened with git-sequencer project? 

If I remember correctly there was agreement on sequences mini-language
(I think), and there was git-sequencer prototype in shell, using
git-cherry-pick if I remember correctly, and even git-rebase and
git-am etc reworked to make use of git-sequencer.  Stephan Beyer wrote
that he has some preliminary version of builtin git-sequencer (in C),
and that it makes git-rebase--interactive and like faster than current
implementation... but builtin sequencer never materialized on git
mailing list as a patch, if I remember correctly, and of course it was
not merged into git either.

Hmm... take a look what features competition has (Darcs, Bazaar-NG,
Subversion, Mercurial, Monotone)...

Perhaps at least _one_ project.  I think that resumable clone /
resumable fetch would be a good thing to have...
