I have to confess that I don't remember the implementation you are
referring to.  Maybe I could have taken inspiration from it.

The rest of this message is about tests.

To clarify, "conflicting" is sitting on a separate branch from the
rest of the commits.  This --help text uses "git show-branch"-style
output, which is perhaps out of fashion but compact and used by some
existing tests.

Nah, it's for the pristine_detach, not the test_commit.

I did miss an &&, though.  Not enough to justify rerolling on its own
but seems worth fixing if resending anyway.

Do you mean that you'd prefer this "conflicting" commit not to be
part of the setup shared between tests?

Yep, works fine.

Yeah, that documentation sucks.  I'll keep this message marked as a
reminder to look at it.

Just like "git show" is the porcelain command to show a commit, "git
diff-tree" is the corresponding plumbing.

It's just a new test.  If rerolling, I'll make it imitate the style of
the existing test following it better.

This test is about --continue asking for help instead of succeeding or
failing in some uncontrolled way, so it seemed useful to check that
the message actually pertains to that.

With this change in how --continue works, I wanted to make sure the
semantics that were not supposed to be changed were still intact.

Likewise.

Maybe the previous one should say "respects -x".

I am not sure what it would mean for --continue of a single-pick to
respect --strategy, for example.

I guess you mean "how does this differ from the existing '--continue
respects opts' test?".

Good question.  In the existing "--continue respects opts" test, we
explicitly run "git commit" before "git cherry-pick --continue".  This
test checks that running "git cherry-pick --continue" without
commiting first does not cause the commit message to be clobbered.

There was no implicit commit of resolution before this patch, so how
can it be unrelated?

Thanks for your attention to detail.
