commit: tweak empty cherry pick advice for sequencerjk/commit-how-to-abort-cherry-pick
When we refuse to make an empty commit, we check whether we are in a cherry-pick in order to give better advice on how to proceed. We instruct the user to repeat the commit with "--allow-empty" to force the commit, or to use "git reset" to skip it and abort the cherry-pick. In the case of a single cherry-pick, the distinction between skipping and aborting is not important, as there is no more work to be done afterwards. When we are using the sequencer to cherry pick a series of commits, though, the instruction is confusing: does it skip this commit, or does it abort the rest of the cherry-pick? It does skip, after which the user can continue the cherry-pick. This is the right thing to be advising the user to do, but let's make it more clear what will happen, both by using the word "skip", and by mentioning that the rest of the sequence can be continued via "cherry-pick --continue" (whether we skip or take the commit).
