There isn't necessarily a need to give help to users what to do to apply the same change twice, but even for those who _know_ how to do so, they need to know if commits are dropped in the first place. And such a notice is useful for any user of the --cherry-pick feature of format-patch, not just as an implementation detail of "git rebase".
