This is done to avoid having to keep the char values in sync in different places and also to get compiler warnings on non-exhaustive switches. In the rebase `action` enum there is the enumeration constant `ACTION_NONE` which is not particularly descriptive, since it seems to imply that no action should be taken. Instead it signals a start of a revert/cherry-pick process, so here `ACTION_START` was chosen.

My point was that yes, it might be in sync with what the user passes in as arguments, but when I followed the code and saw lots of references to ACTION_NONE I was puzzled, since my intuition of that name was that _no action_ should be taken (which did not make sense to me). So the (provocative) question is: Do we want to keep the variable name in sync with some input parameters, or rather with the real action that should be taken? (Depending on the outcome of this discussion I would also prepare a patch renaming it in builtin/rebase.c) What do you think about this version which keeps the `if (cmd != ACTION_START)` in favour of the `goto` and instead of the constant if/else checks for the `verify_opt_compatible` (with the `assert` at the last one) here is one version with a `get_cmd_flag`-function (I am not that happy with the name...) that has a `switch` and it has a runtime error handling with `BUG`. I think it is the most concise of the options so far.
