This can be seen as a continuation of ag/reduce-rewriting-todo.

Currently, complete_action() releases its todo list before calling
sequencer_continue(), which reloads the todo list from the disk.  This
series removes this useless round trip.

Patches 1, 2, and 3 originally come from a series meaning to improve
rebase.missingCommitsCheck[0].  In the original series, I wanted to
check for missing commits in read_populate_todo(), so a warning could be
issued after a `rebase --continue' or an `exec' commands.  But, in the
case of the initial edit, it is already checked in complete_action(),
and would be checked a second time in sequencer_continue() (a caller of
read_populate_todo()).  So I hacked up sequencer_continue() to accept a
pointer to a todo list, and if not null, would skip the call to
read_populate_todo().  (This was really ugly, to be honest.)  Some
issues arose with git-prompt.sh[1], hence 1, 2 and 3.

Patch 5 is a new approach to what I did first.  Instead of bolting a new
parameter to sequencer_continue(), this makes complete_action() calling
directly pick_commits().

This is based on 4c86140027 ("Third batch").

Changes since v3:

 - s/amount/number/ on patches 2 and 3, according to a comment from
   Junio[2] that I had forgotten before I sent the v3 X-(

Alban Gruin (5):
  sequencer: update `total_nr' when adding an item to a todo list
  sequencer: update `done_nr' when skipping commands in a todo list
  sequencer: move the code writing total_nr on the disk to a new
    function
  rebase: fill `squash_onto' in get_replay_opts()
  sequencer: directly call pick_commits() from complete_action()
