cherry-pick/revert: error-help message rewording.
It said "after fixing up, commit the result using -F .msg", but it was not clear for new people how "fix up" should be done. Hint "git-update-index <path>". We could recommend "git commit -a -F .msg" instead, but I am hesitant to give that suggestion in the blind -- you could do a cherry-pick, revert or a merge in general in a dirty working tree as long as local modifications do not overlap with the merge, but using "commit -a" would include them in the result.
