Re: [PATCH 08/10] revert: Introduce HEAD, TODO files to persist state, plan

There's a good way to create a separation between patches 1-2, and the
rest- thanks to Jonathan's suggestion on IRC.
Junio: Would you like to merge just the first two patches? I'll
continue working on the rest, and try to come up with something useful
to merge in another week or two.

If you can split out a smaller series that is obviously correct and
justifiable with or without the rest of the series, that is very good
in general.

I think [1/10] almost falls into that category, modulo that we used to say
it is "fatal:" when you have unmerged files and cannot cherry-pick, but
you now say "error:", which I think is an unnecessary change that you may
want to avoid if you can.

I am not yet convinced [2/10] falls into that category.
