This changes means we give the wrong advice for 'git cherry-pick --no-commit'. I think you want to keep the existing clause as the first one and insert this before the else. The advice itself looks good. It would be nice to improve the advice for 'git revert' in the same way.

If you quote the here doc end marker then there is no substitution in the here doc so writing

	cat <<-\EOF >expected &&
