Some of the fatal messages printed by revert and cherry-pick look ugly like the following: fatal: Could not open .git/sequencer/todo.: No such file or directory The culprit here is the die_errno() function that takes a custom error message string as an argument and appends ": <message from errno>" before printing it. So, we can fix the problem by not terminating the string argument to the function with a '.' (period).
