No, I think your reasoning makes sense. But I also think we've already
choosen to have "--continue" mean "conclude the current, and continue if
there is anything left" in other contexts (e.g., a single-item
cherry-pick). It's more vague, but I think it keeps the user's mental
model simpler if we provide a standard set of options for multi-step
commands (e.g., always "--continue/--abort/--skip", though there are
some like merge that omit "--skip" if it does not make sense).
Yup.  I know you know me well enough to know that I didn't mean to
say "oh this one needs to be called differently" ;-)  I just felt
that "--continue" in that context did not sit well.
