git 2.24: git revert <commit1> <commit2> requires extra '--continue'?

Hi! I'm using git 2.24 (or, a variant of that packaged my distro -- I can try to build my own if this is deemed not reproducible), and I feel like I've been seeing a regression here:

Previously, when reverting multiple commits (with the default --edit behavior), as soon as I'm done editing the first revert commit message, the second revert commit pops up an editor, and I'm on my way. Now, it seems to require an extra 'git revert --continue' prompt in between, yet it doesn't actually recommend that. This is highly confusing, and seemingly unnecessary.

An annotated transcript provided below.

Note that none of this happens with --no-edit; my reverts happen smoothly, with no extra need for --continue.

Regards, Brian
