If NEXT is to mean the result of a commit in the current state, and the
current state would or should not allow a commit, then trying to access
that pseudo-commit should error out with a helpful message.
Another option is to make NEXT/INDEX mean a tree (:0:). I have not
thought this through (and have not made a suggestion, accordingly) but I
do see a problem in the UI. (I don't think we need to change the
existing ui in that respect but can amend and improve it.)
Anyway, it's rc phase :)
Michael
