revert: Introduce --continue to continue the operation
Introduce a new "git cherry-pick --continue" command which uses the
information in ".git/sequencer" to continue a cherry-pick that stopped
because of a conflict or other error. It works by dropping the first
instruction from .git/sequencer/todo and performing the remaining
cherry-picks listed there, with options (think "-s" and "-X") from the
initial command listed in ".git/sequencer/opts".
So now you can do:
$ git cherry-pick -Xpatience foo..bar
... description conflict in commit moo ...
$ git cherry-pick --continue
error: 'cherry-pick' is not possible because you have unmerged files.
fatal: failed to resume cherry-pick
$ echo resolved >conflictingfile
$ git add conflictingfile && git commit
$ git cherry-pick --continue; # resumes with the commit after "moo"
During the "git commit" stage, CHERRY_PICK_HEAD will aid by providing
the commit message from the conflicting "moo" commit. Note that the
cherry-pick mechanism has no control at this stage, so the user is
free to violate anything that was specified during the first
cherry-pick invocation. For example, if "-x" was specified during the
first cherry-pick invocation, the user is free to edit out the message
during commit time. Note that the "--signoff" option specified at
cherry-pick invocation time is not reflected in the commit message
provided by CHERRY_PICK_HEAD; the user must take care to add
"--signoff" during the "git commit" invocation.
