I would love to use a working "cherry-pick --continue". :)  I would
use it like this:

	$ : grumble, grumble, source package format that requires a
	$ : tarball followed by a linear sequence of patches
	$ git checkout -b release+patches v1.0
	$ git cherry-pick --no-merges -x -s HEAD..origin/master
	... ticks away for a while, then presents a conflict
	$ git diff; fix fix fix; git add -u; make test; git commit -v
	$ git cherry-pick --continue
	...

	$ git diff origin/master; # matches up?  good.
	$ git format-patch -k --patience -o patches v1.0..HEAD

Speaking of which, do you have a git tree that testers should use /
send patches against?  E.g., is the "sequencer" branch at
git://github.com/artagnon/git.git the one to play with?

Thanks; exciting times.
