Some type of git integration here would be nice.  I like the idea of
eliminating most todo state changes, because then there isn't an issue
with ellipses on empty headilnes..  I.e.  no need to cycle to see if a
headline is empty because it only contains a logbook drawer.

Of course, you will still need semi-manual interaction to track a
headline that changes and has a todo state change in the same commit.
