I think this function "check_need_delete_cherry_pick_head()" should be before
print_advice(), like this:
+ const char *help_msgs = NULL;
+
error(command == TODO_REVERT
? _("could not revert %s... %s")
: _("could not apply %s... %s"),
short_commit_name(commit), msg.subject);
- print_advice(r, res == 1, opts);
+ if (((opts->action == REPLAY_PICK &&
+ !opts->rebase_preserve_merges_mode) ||
+ (help_msgs = check_need_delete_cherry_pick_head(r))) &&
+ res == 1)
+ print_advice(opts, help_msgs);

I think this one can be easily achieved.

Thanks.
