[PATCH 1/2] t3507: pin CHERRY_PICK_HEAD absence for a conflicting --no-commit

From
Aleksei Sviridkin <f@lex.la>

Message-ID
<20260903125524.67889-1-f@lex.la>

The tests here check the ref after a conflicting pick, after a clean pick and after a clean pick under --no-commit, but not after a conflicting one under --no-commit. That is the combination a user runs into by accident: the pick stops with conflicts, and the ref "git commit" would take the authorship from is not there.

Pin it next to its siblings. Letting the ref be written under --no-commit when the pick conflicts leaves the rest of the cherry-pick tests green, so nothing else guards that path.
