I would expect 'git cherry-pick --no-commit' to save the metadata from the revision cherry-picked if the operation is successful so to allow running 'git cherry-pick --continue' afterwards, however that's not the case. I was wondering if this is done on purpose. The patch in the RFC is not in any way my final proposal (or even a real proposal) but just a little first step so that I can gather information so that I can adjust the code accordingly from all the feedback... _if_ an adjustment is needed, of course. I don't know how --no-commit would have to play out if multiple revisions are asked to be processed by sequencer, for example.
