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'
