I happen to have one such topic branch stack myself that I carry around
since a while. But the implementation must be a bit smarter: What should
happen if you --abort after e.g. 123459 was picked?

I used this scheme sometimes:

     pick 123456 ...
     pick 123457 ...
     pick 123458 ...
     x git rev-parse HEAD >sha1
     pick 123459 ...
     pick 12345a ...
     x git branch --force "branch1" $(cat sha1)

Granted, an indication where the topic branch heads would have to go in
the todo list, as you suggest, would be nice first step.
