Correct.

Disagree. Here was my thought process (it was a conscious decision):
after conflict, when the user runs "git commit", the message is
brought up in the editor, leaving it up to the user to decide whether
it is appropriate to remove the "cherry-picked from" message. I
personally think it is correct to keept it, along with the list of
"Conflicts:". I understand some users think it's not appropriate to
keep the "cherry-picked from" message, but git should not force the
decision.
