Apparently I did not explain myself correctly. Let me try again :)

This is what I am doing:

1) import topic
2) checkpoint
3) diff-tree and processing
4) exit if processing returns ok
5) reset topic to another HEAD
6) goto 1)

In this scenario it is the checkpoint that "breaks" everything because
it will write the original tree to disk. When fast-import exits it will
find the old tree on disk but not within "topic" tree.

So, no, I don't think that automatic checkpointing would make anything
easier. Quite the opposite!
