cherry-pick/revert: Use advise() for hints
When cherry-pick fails after picking a large series of commits, it can be hard to pick out the error message and advice. Prefix the advice with “hint: ” to help. Before: error: could not apply 7ab78c9... foo After resolving the conflicts, mark the corrected paths with 'git add <paths>' or 'git rm <paths>' and commit the result with: git commit -c 7ab78c9a7898b87127365478431289cb98f8d98f After: error: could not apply 7ab78c9... foo hint: after resolving the conflicts, mark the corrected paths hint: with 'git add <paths>' or 'git rm <paths>' hint: and commit the result with 'git commit -c 7ab78c9' Noticed-by: Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch> Encouraged-by: Sverre Rabbelier <srabbelier@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
