I was rebasing with the new built-in sequencer code today, and I was
surprised to see the use of warning() here:
$ git rebase -i
[set one commit to 'edit']
warning: stopped at 6ce6b914a... odb_pack_keep(): stop generating keepfile name
You can amend the commit now, with
[...more instructions...]
It alarmed me for a minute until I realized that no, this is nothing to
be alarmed about, but just git doing exactly what I told it to do.
The original just wrote:

It would be easy to switch back:
diff --git a/sequencer.c b/sequencer.c
index 1f729b053..8183a83c1 100644
--- a/sequencer.c
+++ b/sequencer.c

return error_with_patch(commit,
and that would match most of the other messages that the command issues,
which use a bare fprintf() and start with a capital letter. But I'm not
sure if there was some reason to treat this one differently.
