From: Philippe Blain <levraiphilippeblain@xxxxxxxxx> Commit 67ac1e1d57 (cherry-pick/revert: add support for -X/--strategy-option, 2010-12-10) added an example to the documentation of 'git cherry-pick'. This example mentions how to abort a failed cherry-pick and retry with an additional merge strategy option. The command used in the example to abort the cherry-pick is 'git reset --merge ORIG_HEAD', but cherry-pick does not write 'ORIG_HEAD' before starting its operation. So this command would checkout a commit unrelated to what was at HEAD when the user invoked cherry-pick. Use 'git cherry-pick --abort' instead.
