What does pinning a test mean?

Using test_must_fail() here without checking the error message means
we don't verify the reason that the cherry-pick failed.
Dropped the test, so the wording goes with it. "pin" was jargon, sorry.

Your placement was the right one: the advice test is what tells us the
pick stopped on a conflict, which the bare test_must_fail did not. But
the clean-pick test at t3507:98 and the conflicting case share the
!opts->no_commit guard, so the assertion had no coverage left to add.

v2 is the doc change alone.
