True, but I understood this issue to be that there were two cherry
picks, one of which worked, one of which failed because it was out of
order. Hence git reset HEAD@{1} would reset prior to the first
successful (but out of order) cherry-pick.

Any way, thanks for the explaining the virtue of git reset --merge.
