Of course you shouldn't have to, and cherry-pick --continue shouldn't commit either. Once you resolve the conflicts, there is no more things to do for cherry-pick command, so --continue does not make any sense, I would think, when using --no-commit. For that matter, "cherry-pick --no-commit A..B", unless you are absolutely sure A..B consists of only one commit (in which case you should just be saying "cherry-pick --no-commit B" instead), makes no sense, either. So perhaps these are what we should be fixing? I.e. reject range-pick when --no-commit is given, and reject --continue when working in --no-commit mode.
