Subject: [PATCH 4/4] revert: improve success message by adding abbreviated commit sha1
Message-ID: <20100713232816.7738.78221.chriscool@tuxfamily.org>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20100713232816.7738.78221.chriscool%40tuxfamily.org

```
Instead of "Finished one cherry-pick." or "Finished one
revert.", we now print "Finished cherry-pick commit
<abbreviated sha1>." or "Finished revert commit
<abbreviated sha1>." which is more informative especially
when cherry-picking or reverting many commits.

In case of failure the message is now "Automatic
cherry-pick commit <abbreviated sha1> failed." instead of
"Automatic cherry-pick failed.".

If the redirections are changed to <<-\EOF before, then they would
need to be changed back to <<-EOF here.

“Finished cherry-pick of commit f67ab8.” sounds more better to my ear.

	Finished cherry-pick of foo.
	Finished cherry-pick of bar.
	Finished cherry-pick of baz.
	etc

is a lot saner than

	Finished one cherry-pick.
	Finished one cherry-pick.
	Finisehd one cherry-pick.
	etc

Thanks for making it happen.
