Blech, how is this an improvement? Why can't I just say "git
cherry-pick --continue"?
If I've still got the message in my terminal, it's no harder to use
the SHA1. And if I've lost the message in my terminal, HEAD~23 is lost
and I've got to dig the SHA1 out of my shell history anyway.
Maybe it doesn't look like an improvement to you, but I usually do my
editing in other terminal and come back to the shell, so this is a huge
improvement. It depends on the user.
I don't think Peff meant this change as the sole replacement for --cont
anyway, so I don't understand why you are so upset about it.
