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

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.

Good point.  There are two principles at work here:

 - options with more specific effect override more general ones
 - options on the command line override the environment

On second thought, the latter does seem more relevant (though it need
not apply to CHERRY_PICK_HEAD).

Thanks for a sanity check.
