Subject: Proper way to abort incorrect cherry-picking?
Message-ID: <s2m76c5b8581004281238jf7179fffna7d757fee6ab4f10@mail.gmail.com>

hi,

we have tried to cherry-pick 2 commits from one branch to another
branch, but unfortunately the incorrect commit was chosen to be
applied first.

Thus, the automatic cherry-pick failed and caused conflicts, so in
order to to cancel the whole operation i had to do the following:

1. mark the conflicting files as resolved (without even resolving
them) by doing git add.
2. unstage all files staged for commit as a result of incomplete cherry picking
3. manually checkout touched files to their correct state (git checkout file)

and then i was able to repeat cherry-picking with correct commits.

Is there a better way? Shouldn't there be a "git cherry-pick --abort"
for such cases as it exists for rebase?

Thanks,
Eugene
