Blech, how is this an improvement? Why can't I just say "git
cherry-pick --continue"?

If I've still got the message in my terminal, it's no harder to use
the SHA1. And if I've lost the message in my terminal, HEAD~23 is lost
and I've got to dig the SHA1 out of my shell history anyway.

(This isn't hypothetical; typically I'll cherry-pick, do some crap in
that terminal such that the message is lost, then I've got to go
through my history to see which commit I had been cherry picking. So
changing the message doesn't help with that situation at all.)
