I'll just drop this test.

It certainly doesn't make any sense when you quote it like that.  What
I meant is that: by convention, 'git cherry-pick' is supposed to exit
with positive status on conflict.  Conversely, this means that a
positive exit status can be interpreted as a conflict, but this is
clearly not the case here.  How do we fix this problem?  By creating
an API for "git commit", not by shelling out like this and letting it
take over the exit status.
