Edit cherry-picks a commit, then exits to the shell. I needed to exit to the
shell without cherry-picking a commit. As stated in the comments above the
diffstat on the patch, the original use case here was something along the
lines of

  edit 12345 some commit
  fixup 23456 another commit
  shell I want to amend the commit after the fixup
