The state file contains two important values: the LastAppliedChangeset and a queue of PendingChangesets.

Tailor uses a StateFileJournal to minimize chances of corrupting it, and currently there is no facility to directly managing StateFile contents, even if sooner or later  YAML may come to rescue.

The StateFile is by default named appending a .state suffix to the project's name, but may be specified with the state-file option in the ProjectSection? of the ConfigurationFile.
