I shamelessly asked an AI agent I had nearby to guess what your log
message might have meant and got the following.  I am not sure if
that matches what you wanted to say, or if it is totally off the
mark, but at least I can follow what it is trying to say, even
though I do not think if that matches reality (for example, when
"--no-commit" is in effect, we probably do not want CHERRY_PICK_HEAD,
even though the version of the text given by Gemini below claims it
is needed).

     When a cherry-pick is run with the --no-commit option and halts
     due to conflicts, Git must still write the CHERRY_PICK_HEAD ref.
No, with --no-commit it must not write CHERRY_PICK_HEAD.
You know that I know that ;-).

My point of asking an AI was to show that it was so unclear to
confuse AI into summarizing it down to a complete opposite
statement.
I agree the commit message is confusing and could be much
shorter.
