Apart from its central objective of calling into the picking mechanism, pick_commits creates a sequencer directory, prepares a todo list, and even acts upon the "--reset" subcommand. This makes for a bad API since the central worry of callers is to figure out whether or not any conflicts were encountered during the cherry picking. The current API is like: if (pick_commits(opts) < 0) print "Something failed, we're not sure what" So, change pick_commits so that it's only responsible for picking commits in a loop and reporting any errors, leaving the rest to a new function called pick_revisions. Consequently, the API of pick_commits becomes much clearer: act_on_subcommand(opts->subcommand); todo_list = prepare_todo_list(); if (pick_commits(todo_list, opts) < 0) print "Error encountered while picking commits" Now, callers can easily call-in to the cherry-picking machinery by constructing an arbitrary todo list along with some options.
