Gábor's mail reminded me that this bug bites me often enough when rebasing Git for Windows.
The symptom is that .git/CHERRY_PICK_HEAD is left behind after skipping an already-merged patch with `git rebase --continue` instead of `git rebase --skip`. I always prefer the former invocation because the latter would also skip legitimate patches if there were merge conflicts, while the former would not allow that.
