First half sounds good to me. Not sure I understand the second half about "removing refs"; do you mean actually deleting the ref, or just not updating it, or something else? > * Elijah had a question about focusing on "pick" actions, not > "fixup" or "squash" steps.

I do sometimes want to fixup or squash into a commit that a branch I depend upon directly points to, so I'm worried your feature may update refs incorrectly without this support. > * Elijah also had some optimization ideas, but I'm not sure if > we should prioritize them here or have them as future > improvements after the feature is stable. You know, thinking about it more, with every single commit, sequencer already updates the index, the working tree, HEAD, and *several* control files. So these optimizations would probably just be lost in the noise. Unless we restructure sequencer.c, it may not be worth implementing these ideas at all. Either way, I'd say this certainly shouldn't hold up this series.
