Re: [PATCH v2] Introduce CHERRY_PICK_HEAD

Wait, does this mean that -c/-C/--amend/CHERRY_PICK_HEAD overrides
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME, GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL, and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE?

*checks*

Yes, it does.  The behavior is carried over from v0.99~185
(git-commit-script: get commit message from an existing one,
2005-06-25), but imho it is wrong.

Hmph, -c/-C/--amend is like giving the identity with --author from the
command line so overriding the values from the environment variables
sounds like the right thing to do.

Where am I confused?
