I think that is a good change, although it is unfortunate that the
command line completion considers "git update-ref -d CHERRY_P<TAB>"
something it should help the user with.

I tried "cherry-pick --abort" to see what happens after

    $ edit A B
    $ git add A
    $ git rev-parse HEAD~200 >.git/CHERRY_PICK_HEAD
    $ git commit

and aborting the last "git commit" step.  As "cherry-pick --abort"
involves running "git reset --merge" internally, of course some
states the user wanted to commit were wiped out and lost.

Thanks.
