I think do_recursive_merge() would die() when the merge cannot even start
(i.e. the local changes after the cherry-pick exits are the ones from the
time before such a failed cherry-pick started), but I suspect that the
other codepath uses try_merge_command() to drive strategies other than
recursive and it does not die() there in such a case. Can you make sure
this patch is sufficient in such a case as well?

Other than that I think this is better than the previous rounds.

Thanks.
