Re: git cherry-pick conflict error message is deceptive when cherry-picking multiple commits

From: Stefan Beller <hidden>

Would it be possible to expand the hint message to tell users to run
'git cherry-pick --continue'
Instead of expanding I'd go for replacing?

I'd say the user is tempted for 2 choices,
a) aborting (for various reasons)
b) fix and continue.

So we'd want to point out the way for those two ways and not
give an additional arbitrary way that is not quite (b) but goes that
direction?

I realize this is what the patch does, but I wanted to point out the difference
on expanding vs replacing. I think a 4 line hint is "enough", so I'd object
adding more lines, but changing existing lines is great!
