Exactly. The sequencer code was taught to use a state directory different
from rebase -i's (even if it quite clearly imitated rebase -i's approach),
to allow for rebase -i to run at the same time as the sequencer (by
calling it via cherry-pick).
So we need to be able to use different seq_dir locations, depending on the
mode we are running in.
I briefly considered consolidating them and using .git/rebase-merge/ as
state directory also for cherry-pick/revert, but that would cause
problems: I am surely not the only user who cherry-picks commits manually
while running interactive rebases.
Ciao,
