test: test cherry-pick functionality and output separately
Since v1.7.3-rc0~26^2~9 (revert: report success when using option --strategy, 2010-07-14), the cherry-pick-many-commits test checks the format of output written to the terminal during a cherry-pick sequence in addition to the functionality. There is no reason those have to be checked in the same test, though, and it has some downsides: - when progress output is broken, the test result does not convey whether the functionality was also broken or not - it is not immediately obvious when reading that these checks are meant to prevent regressions in details of the output format and are not just a roundabout way to check functional details like the number of commits produced - there is a temptation to include the same kind of output checking for every new cherry-pick test, which would make future changes to the output unnecessarily difficult Put the tests from v1.7.3-rc0~26^2~9 in separate assertions, following the principle "test one feature at a time".
