For the sake of new and forgetful readers: what is that objective?

The objective is to build a generalized sequencer

[...]

In these examples, the instruction sheet is uniformly filled with
"pick" or "revert" actions, which is not very interesting.  When we
get an interface to allow easy editing of the instruction sheet and
encompass more builtins, more interesting sequences of operations will
be possible like:

  pick rr/revert-cherry-pick^2~34
  revert master@{12}
  merge next
  am /tmp/jrn.patch

Ah, okay.  So the tasks at hand are (1) allowing heterogeneous
instruction sheets (pick + revert for now) and (2) exposing the
sequencer interface in sequencer.h.  (2) does not strictly
depend on (1) but (1) has more short-term benefit that is easy
to test so it comes first.  No UI aside from editing the instruction
sheet manually for now, but that can come later.  Thanks for
explaining.
