I agree and I said as much. The problem is that cherry-pick has two
modes of behavior:

1. Given a single commit. Historically this was the only way to use
it. In this case, the behavior after a conflict should be the same as
after a merge conflict. You resolve the conflicts then use git commit.

2. Given a rev-list. This is relatively recent addition to cherry-pick
(7e2bfd3 revert: allow cherry-picking more than one commit,
2010-06-02). Here's where I'd expect to have a more rebase-like
behavior, using --continue/abort to work through the sequence. But
frankly, I consider 7e2bfd3 a mistake. I think a better implementation
would be to make cherry-pick be plumbing, and re-use rebase's logic
for walking through the series of commit.

I'd like to do (2) eventually[*] but I think in the mean time this is
a nice incremental improvement.

[*] is the sequencer project dead?

Yep, I wanted to make sure I wasn't off in the weeds first. :-)

Thanks,
