I have an slightly unusual usecase for cherry-pick:
I want to modify the commit message that is used in the process,
e.g. do an d/^PROP:/ on it, but unfortunately -m does something
else here.

...

There's "cherry-pick --edit".

Yes, but. I'm in a toolchain, not a user. I'm a command that let
the user cherry-pick specific things, and I need to edit out the things
that made the original commit eligible to be picked in the first place.

Can't quite rely on the tool's user to do that. :-(

I'm not familiar with the plumbing to know where to look there.
