 When testing if the $dotest directory exists, and if $next is greater

When can that happen? If one edits the todo?

More importantly, that condition is an unexpected error, which the
user may need to supply to help diagnosing the issue better, isn't
it?

When git-rebase.sh creates a $dotest directory with just an autostash file :)

Like I said in my cover letter, I really wrote [7/7] first, and kept
modifying things until all the tests passed.  So, I can't really
justify these changes independent of [7/7].

That explains a lot of mystery ;-)

Perhaps all of these oops, 7/7 breaks this and that so let's work
them around can be avoided if the series did not store the object
name of the stash that records the local changes as a plain text
file inside a $dotest/ directory, and instead used a dedicated ref
somewhere under refs/ hierarchy, no?

Exactly.  Which is why I was asking for named stashes on the other
thread.  Much cleaner than keeping track of it yourself.
