Correcting my earlier mail: I said I was dropping the test because the existing clean-pick test covered it, and that is wrong. The clean pick is checked, the conflicting one is not.

The justification is the condition itself: whether CHERRY_PICK_HEAD is written depends on the command, on whether the merge started, and on --no-commit, all in one place. v3 puts it back as a single test_ref_missing call in an existing test, so no new test and no new setup.
