while doing revert or cherry-pick, if the automatic merge fails

then don't suggest to do that as part of the conflict resolution.
I agree that the suggestion does not make sense, but realistically, when
the user said

    git cherry-pick --no-commit $something

we have no idea if the user wants to add or remove once the conflict has
been resolved.  More often than not, "cherry-pick --no-commit" is followed
by further edit, at least in the use cases I've seen, so "git add/rm" is
not the first command the user will run after resolving the conflicts.

So it _might_ make sense not to even suggest "add/rm" in that case.

After all, this is a help/advice message, and "cherry-pick --no-commit"
is sort of an advanced feature anyway, so...
