Re: [PATCH 1/3] revert: rename --reset option to --quit

Actually from what I understand --reset / --quit has to have different

Right.  I'll send a strawman series that introduces a "cherry-pick
--abort" option soon to clarify this.

BTW. I think that '--clear' (or '--clear-state') would be a better name
for this option.

Could you explain why?  When I run "git cherry-pick --clear", I'd
expect that it removes some files.  Problems:

 (1) It's not clear to the novice _which_ files it will remove.  Maybe
     ".rej" files or something?

 (2) That the sequencer state is stored in files is an implementation
     detail.

Other than that I think I agree with the reasoning (and I think I too had
encountered the irritation with the "sequencer state").

Thanks for the quick feedback, both of you.
