Hi Ram,

Today I encountered the following error message:

	$ git cherry-pick foo..bar
	error: .git/sequencer already exists.
	error: A cherry-pick or revert is in progress.
	hint: Use --continue to continue the operation
	hint: or --reset to forget about it
	fatal: cherry-pick failed
	$

The double "error" seemed a little weird.  Also, the capital letters
and periods feel out of place, when compared with other messages
emited by git with an "error:" prefix.  The final "fatal: cherry-pick
failed" seems redundant, too.  I guess I would have expected something
like the following instead:

	$ git cherry-pick foo..bar
	fatal: a cherry-pick or revert is already in progress
	hint: try "git cherry-pick (--continue | --quit)"
	$

What do you think?
