Might be simpler to say:

	Introduce a new "git cherry-pick --continue" command which uses
	the information in ".git/sequencer" to continue a cherry-pick that
	stopped because of a conflict or other error.  It works by dropping
	the first instruction from .git/sequencer/todo and performing the
	remaining cherry-picks listed there, with options (think "-s" and
	"-X") from the initial command listed in .git/sequencer/opts.

	So now you can do:

		$ git cherry-pick -Xpatience foo..bar
		... description conflict in commit moo ...
		$ git cherry-pick --continue
		error: 'cherry-pick' is not possible because you have unmerged files.
		fatal: failed to resume cherry-pick
		$ echo resolved >conflictingfile
		$ git add conflictingfile && git commit
		$ git cherry-pick --continue; # resumes with the commit after "moo"

The -s thing doesn't have much to do with this change.  But is it a
bug or not?  If it's not a bug, then this is not so much a glitch to
note as an important feature to ensure people don't sign off on a
conflict resolution without thinking about it.  (I guess I think it's
a bug.  It's hard to decide.)

This would start to fail if the message ever changed from "error" to
"fatal", right?  I don't think that's a good thing.

How is $head used?

$_x40 is idiomatic and safer with old seds.

This will break when GETTEXT_POISON is set --- test_i18ngrep
automatically succeeds in that case.

Is "Signed-off-by" meant to be translated anyway?  I would use

	! grep

if testing that.

By the way, that probably should go in a separate test assertion
("-s is not automatically propagated to resolved conflict") to make
it easier to change the behavior later.
