Since ced9456 (Give the user a hint for how to continue in the case that git-am fails because it requires user intervention, 2006-05-02), git-am prints additional information on how the user can re-invoke git-am to resume patch application after resolving the failure. Re-implement this through the die_user_resolve() function. Since cc12005 (Make git rebase interactive help match documentation., 2006-05-13), git-am supports the --resolvemsg option which is used by git-rebase to override the message printed out when git-am fails. Re-implement this option.
