I suppose, but I thought git-rebase--am.sh (the default flavor) could
be improved by leveraging relatively new cherry-pick features; I
assumed that the reason it was using format-patch/ am was because it
was written before cherry-pick matured. Alternatively, can you think
of a project that involves working on the sequencer?

Oh. I look forward to using a nicer git-branch soon.

That makes the project a little more open-ended then. I like it.
I was hoping you'd have more comments on "3. Invent new conflict
style". Although I'm not sure the conflict style I proposed would be
terribly useful in the general case, it'll give the student an
opportunity to look at older/ lesser-known portions of the codebase.
