Re: [PATCH 11/14] revert: Introduce a layer of indirection over pick_commits

Write a new function called process_continuation to prepare a
todo_list to call pick_commits with; the job of pick_commits is
simplified into performing the tasks listed in todo_list.  This will
be useful when continuation functionality like "--continue" is
introduced later in the series.
