Thanks; we'd probably want a few tests in somewhere near 3503 or
3505.

Is this error-fail desirable?  How do we get here?  Did a user start
a cherry-pick on an unborn branch and then told us to abort that?
Shouldn't we be taking the user back to the "orphan" state if that
is the case?

Not a new issue, but I cannot quite fathom what this error message
wants to say.  "Can't revert an initial commit"?
