I usually do this:

* get latest changes, save in latest.osc
* if a file named changes-to-apply.osc exists, merge latest.osc into 
that file; else rename latest.osc to changes-to-apply.osc
* run osmosis to apply changes-to-apply.osc to my planet; remove 
changes-to-apply.osc if successful

But it is possible that this is already over-cautious, and you could 
just as well run the --rri and --ac in one big step which would then 
ensure that the state.txt is only updated if the whole thing was 
successful. I'm not 100% sure about this though.
