Ahh, I didn't realize we still had scripted rebase backends that
called cherry-pick as an executable. I was hoping that all rebase
backends by now would be calling into the cherry-pick machinery
directly, bypassing cmd_cherry_pick(), and that was why I suggested
to catch stray one the end-users set manually in the environment
and clear it there.

I didn't press for the information too hard, but I guessed that it
was perhaps because somebody like stackoverflow suggested to set a
message in their environment to get a "better message."
