It's very simple.

  # on branch master
  $ git checkout -b test
  $ git cherry-pick master
  $ ls .git/sequencer
  # missing

In the pseudo multi-pick case (I say "pseudo" because there's really
just one commit to pick):

  # on branch master
  $ git checkout -b test
  $ git cherry-pick master~..
  $ ls .git/sequencer

cat .git/sequencer/todo if you like.

Nope, this is unsupported afaik.

No, --continue will just print the same message over and over again.

Yes, the whole ranged cherry-pick thing can use a lot more polish.

Good suggestion.  I'll pick advice.cherryPickInstructions when I
decide to polish sequencer.c a bit.

Thanks.
