I don't care about resuming partially completed change merges if that is
what you mean. What I do care about is detecting an interrupted merge
and starting it again from the beginning. I don't expect reboots to
happen very often, so taking an extra hour to redo some lost work won't
be significant overall.

To be clear, the state file I have been referring to in this discussion
is state.txt.
