This introduce a new function to recreate the text of a todo list from
its commands, and then to write it to the disk.  This will be useful in
the future, the buffer of a todo list won’t be treated as a strict
mirror of the todo file by some of its functions once they will be
refactored.

This functionnality can already be found in todo_list_transform(), but
it is specifically made to replace the buffer of a todo list, which is
not the desired behaviour.  Thus, the part of todo_list_transform() that
actually creates the buffer is moved to a new function,
todo_list_to_strbuf().  The rest is unused, and so is dropped.

todo_list_write_to_file() can also take care to append the help text to
the buffer before writing it to the disk, or to write only the first n
items of the list.

Hi Alban

I like the direction this is going, it is an improvement on re-scanning 
the list at the end of each function.

I'd suggest rewording this slightly, maybe something like

This introduces a new function to recreate the text of a todo list from
its commands and write it to a file. This will be useful as the next few 
commits will change the use of the buffer in struct todo_list so it will 
no-longer be a mirror of the file on disk.

Why/when do we only want to write a subset of the items?

This is a really long argument list which makes it easy for callers to 
get the parameters in the wrong order. I think append_help could 
probably be folded into the flags, I'm not sure what the command_count 
is used for but I've only read the first few patches. Maybe it would be 
better to pass a struct so we have named fields.

Best Wishes

Phillip

In skip_unnecessary_picks(), in patch [10/16].  It needs to write the
elements of the todo list that were already done in the `done' file.

You’re right, command_count is not really needed since we pass the
complete todo list.

The only bit that irks me is that, if I stop passing command_count, I
would have to call count_commands() twice in complete_action(): once to
check if there are any commands in the todo list, and again inside of
todo_list_write_to_file() (see [09/16].)

Perhaps I could move this check before calling todo_list_rearrange_squash()?

As a sidenote, this is not why I added command_count to the parameters
of todo_list_write_to_file().  It was a confusion of my part.
