Makes sense.

No need to resend to only fix this, but I'll add SP after "1" to
match surrounding lines while queuing the patch.

I agree with the change in this hunk that advanced users may want to
squelch this "what to do" hint.

I am not sure about the earlier hunk that reports when some commits
have actually been skipped.  When --no-reapply-cherry-picks is in
effect, the user is expecting that some commits are cherry-picks
among other (hopefully the majority of) commits, and even those
users who do not want to be taught how to use the command would want
to learn the fact that some commits were skipped (and which ones).

Using two separate advice configuration variables feel way overkill
for this.  I wonder if the previous hunk should use warning(), i.e.
+		if (!is_empty && (commit->object.flags & PATCHSAME)) {
+			warning(_("skipped previously applied commit %s"),
+				short_commit_name(commit));
+			skipped_commit = 1;
 			continue;
+		}
possibly squelched by "git rebase --quiet".

Likewise.  I wonder why we have two so-much-similar codepaths that
we need to touch, though.

I think that would be nicer. Using advise_if_enabled() in the second 
hunk makes sense but I think a printing "warning" rather than a "hint" 
in the first hunk.

--recreate-merges implemented the main loop for its todo list generation 
in a new function as it is much more involved that for the linear case.

Ack. Fixed in V3. Do you also want me to rebase this on
ab/retire-advice-config?

Switched these to warnings, squelched by "--quiet" as suggested below.
