This may be a stupid question, but does --keep-empty only fail with
the "am" mode?

More specifically, how well does "rebase -i --keep-empty" work?

If the answer is "very well", then it might make sense not to
introduce yet another cherry-pick mode, but do exactly the same
thing as what -p mode does, namely, to internally delegate the
processing to "rebase -i" codepath.  After all, multi-pick mode of
cherry-pick uses the same sequencer machinery as rebase -i uses,
so if we are already producing a correct "rebase todo" sequencer
insn list for "rebase -i" anyway, it should be the matter of not
launching the editor to edit the initial insn sheet to make it
non-interactive, isn't it?
