:)  It sounds like you are running a business.

I guess I would suggest clarifying that you mean exposing further
functionality through this API for more callers, rather than just
generally bloating git further.

As much as I like this change (and I do, modulo the stray semicolon),
it does not belong in a patch where it can be unnoticed in the code
movement.

Another (non-functional) change.  Probably (?) this renaming has a
good reason to be part of this patch, but it should definitely be
mentioned in the commit message.

git_path() calls vsnprintf which clobbers errno, so depending on the
platform this can print messages like

	fatal: Could not open '.git/CHERRY_PICK_HEAD' for writing: Success

The natural fix would be to add a local for it (as a separate patch).
Sorry I missed this when the code first arrived.

This tree is leaked (for example if you cherry-pick a sequence of
root commits).

The exit code here violates the usual "exit with status 128 for
errors other than conflicts" rule.  Perhaps it should be changed to
"return -1" in a separate patch (to accompany the patch that returns
error() instead of die()-ing so often to allow callers to give
additional context to errors from this machinery).

Unrelated change snuck in?

I thought sequencer_parse_args() wasn't being exposed.

Except where noted above, I hope this is just simple code movement,
but I haven't checked.  If I could be sure, it would be easier to
review.
