The list of conflicted paths shown in the editor while concluding a
conflicted merge was shown above the scissors line when the
clean-up mode is set to "scissors", even though it was commented
out just like the list of updated paths and other information to
help the user explain the merge better.

cherry-pick/revert: add scissors line on merge conflict
sequencer.c: save and restore cleanup mode

When cherry-picking or reverting a sequence of commits and if the final
pick/revert has conflicts and the user uses `git commit` to commit the
conflict resolution and does not run `git cherry-pick --continue` then
the sequencer state is left behind. This can cause problems later. In my
case I cherry-picked a sequence of commits the last one of which I
committed with `git commit` after resolving some conflicts, then a while
later, on a different branch I aborted a revert which rewound my HEAD to
the end of the cherry-pick sequence on the previous branch. Avoid this
potential problem by removing the sequencer state if we're committing or
resetting the final pick in a sequence.

merge-recursive takes any files marked as unmerged by unpack_trees,
tries to figure out whether they can be resolved (e.g. using renames
or a file-level merge), and then if they can be it will delete the old
cache entries and writes new ones. This means that any ce_flags for
those cache entries are essentially cleared when merging.
Unfortunately, if a file was marked as skip_worktree and it needs a
file-level merge but the merge results in the same version of the file
that was found in HEAD, we skip updating the worktree (because the
file was unchanged) but clear the skip_worktree bit (because of the
delete-cache-entry-and-write-new-one). This makes git treat the file
as having a local change in the working copy, namely a delete, when it
should appear as unchanged despite not being present. Avoid this
problem by copying the skip_worktree flag in this case.

Just like other hints such as "Changes to be committed" we show in
the editor to remind the committer what paths were involved in the
resulting commit to help improving their log message, this section
is merely a reminder.
Traditionally, it was not made into comments primarily because it
has to be generated outside the wt-status infrastructure, and also
because it was meant as a bit stronger reminder than the others
(i.e. explaining how you resolved conflicts is much more important
than mentioning what you did to every paths involved in the commit).
But that still does not make this hint a part of the log message
proper, and not showing it as a comment is inviting mistakes.
Note that we still notice "Conflicts:" followed by list of indented
pathnames as an old-style cruft and insert a new Signed-off-by:
before it. This is so that "commit --amend -s" adds the new S-o-b
at the right place when used on an older commit.

In case 'git cherry-pick -s <commit>' failed, the user had to use 'git
commit -s' (i.e. state the -s option again), which is easy to forget
about. Instead, write the signed-off-by line early, so plain 'git
commit' will have the same result.
Also update 'git commit -s', so that in case there is already a relevant
Signed-off-by line before the Conflicts: line, it won't add one more at
the end of the message. If there is no such line, then add it before the
the Conflicts: line.

When cherry-pick fails it offers a helpful hint about how to
proceed. The hint tells the user how to do the cleanup
needed by the conflicted cherry-pick and finish the job after
conflict resolution. In case of cherry-pick --no-commit, the
hint goes too far. It tells the user to finish up with
'git commit'. That is not what this git-cherry-pick was
trying to do in the first place.
Restrict the hint in case of --no-commit to avoid giving this
extra advice.
Also, add a test verifying the reduced hint for the --no-commit
version of cherry-pick.

When conflicts are encountered while reverting a commit, it can be
handy to have the name of that commit easily available. For example,
to produce a copy of the patch to refer to while resolving conflicts:
$ git revert 2eceb2a8
error: could not revert 2eceb2a8... awesome, buggy feature
$ git show -R REVERT_HEAD >the-patch
$ edit $(git diff --name-only)
Set a REVERT_HEAD pseudoref when "git revert" does not make a commit,
for cases like this. This also makes it possible for scripts to
distinguish between a revert that encountered conflicts and other
sources of an unmerged index.
After successfully committing, resetting with "git reset", or moving
to another commit with "git checkout" or "git reset", the pseudoref is
no longer useful, so remove it.

do_pick_commit() writes out CHERRY_PICK_HEAD before invoking merge (either
via do_recursive_merge() or try_merge_command()) on the assumption that if
the merge fails it is due to conflict. However, if the tree is dirty, the
merge may not even start, aborting before do_pick_commit() can remove
CHERRY_PICK_HEAD.
Instead, defer writing CHERRY_PICK_HEAD till after merge has returned.
At this point we know the merge has either succeeded or failed due
to conflict. In either case, we want CHERRY_PICK_HEAD to be written
so that it may be picked up by the subsequent invocation of commit.
Note that do_recursive_merge() aborts if the merge cannot start, while
try_merge_command() returns a non-zero value other than 1.

Previously the user was advised to use commit -c CHERRY_PICK_HEAD after
a conflicting cherry-pick. While this would preserve the original
commit's authorship, it would sadly discard cherry-pick's carefully
crafted MERGE_MSG (which contains the list of conflicts as well as the
original commit-id in the case of cherry-pick -x).
On the other hand, if a bare 'commit' were performed, it would preserve
the MERGE_MSG while resetting the authorship.
In other words, there was no way to simultaneously take the authorship
from CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and the commit message from MERGE_MSG.
This change fixes that situation. A bare 'commit' will now take the
authorship from CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and the commit message from MERGE_MSG.
If the user wishes to reset authorship, that must now be done explicitly
via --reset-author.
A side-benefit of passing commit authorship along this way is that we
can eliminate redundant authorship parsing code from revert.c.
(Also removed an unused include from revert.c)

When a cherry-pick conflicts git advises:
$ git commit -c <original commit id>
to preserve the original commit message and authorship. Instead, let's
record the original commit id in CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and advise:
$ git commit -c CHERRY_PICK_HEAD
A later patch teaches git to handle the '-c CHERRY_PICK_HEAD' part.
Note that we record CHERRY_PICK_HEAD even in the case where there
are no conflicts so that we may use it to communicate authorship to
commit; this will then allow us to remove set_author_ident_env from
revert.c. However, we do not record CHERRY_PICK_HEAD when --no-commit
is used, as presumably the user intends to further edit the commit
and possibly even cherry-pick additional commits on top.

All the tests in t3507 (cherry-pick with conflicts) begin with the
same checkout + read-tree + clean incantation to ensure a predictable
starting point. Factor out a function for that so the interesting
part of the tests is easier to read.
The "update-index --refresh" and "diff-index --exit-code HEAD" are not
necessary as the point of this testsuite is not about testing
"read-tree --reset".

with “hint: ” to help.
Before:

After resolving the conflicts,
mark the corrected paths with 'git add <paths>' or 'git rm <paths>'
and commit the result with:
git commit -c 7ab78c9a7898b87127365478431289cb98f8d98f
After:
error: could not apply 7ab78c9... foo

When writing conflict hunks in ‘diff3 -m’ format, also add a label to
the common ancestor. Especially in a cherry-pick, it is not immediately
obvious without such a label what the common ancestor represents.
git rerere does not have trouble parsing the new output and its preimage
ids are unchanged since it includes its own code for recreating conflict
hunks. No other code in git parses conflict hunks.

When reverting a commit, the commit being merged is not the commit
to revert itself but its parent. Add “parent of” to the conflict
hunk label to make this more clear.
The conflict hunk labels are all pieces of a single string written in
the new get_message() function. Avoid some complication by using
mempcpy to advance a pointer as the result is written.
Also free the corresponding temporary buffer (it was leaked before).
This is not important because it is a small one-time allocation. It
would become a memory leak if unnoticed when libifying revert.
This patch uses calls to strlen() instead of integer constants in some
places. GCC will compute the length at compile time; I am not sure
about other compilers, but this is not performance-critical anyway.
