Bypassing hooks while cherry-picking

Hello,

using git 2.1.4 here, and it seems there is no option to bypass pre-commit hooks while cherry-picking, while git commit provides a --no-verify option. I ended up doing this to disable hooks while cherry picking :

     test -f "$GIT_DIR"/CHERRY_PICK_HEAD && exit 0

Wouldn't it be best to add the --no-verify option to cherry-pick too? I had a conflict when cherry-picking the commit, maybe this does not happen otherwise?

Steps to reproduce :
1. create a pre-commit hook
2. create a commit that fails the hook, and bypass the hook
3. checkout another branch
4. might be optional : create a conflicting change with the previously 
created commit
5. cherry-pick the commit
6. might be optional : solve the conflick and use git cherry-pick --continue
Regards,
