While you have "git am" open, how about adding an "git am --abort"
which nukes the .dotest aka .git/rebase directory, and resets HEAD
back to the original position?

This does not seem to have reached the list nor its archives.  I cannot
say I have really looked at it deeply but it may be a good starting
point.  It needs docs ;-)

Thinking about the way "git am" works:

It tries to apply patches even on a dirty tree which makes difficult
to automatically do a "git reset --hard" with --skip or --abort and
forces the user to clean the index by hand if last patch failed with
unmerged files.

So, do some people still use "git am" with a dirty tree or will a
patch that make it work like "git rebase" be accepted?

I think users can use "git stash" and "git stash pop" today. Did I
miss something?

Note: the version that use "git sequencer" seems to work like I want
      but I do not know if it is a side effect or not.
