fix cherry-pick/revert status when doing multiple commits

The status report for an in-progress cherry-pick does not show the
current commit if the cherry-pick happens as part of a series of
multiple commits:

 $ git cherry-pick <commit1> <commit2>
 < one of the cherry-picks fails to merge clean >
 Cherry-pick currently in progress.
  (run "git cherry-pick --continue" to continue)
  (use "git cherry-pick --skip" to skip this patch)
  (use "git cherry-pick --abort" to cancel the cherry-pick operation)

 $ git status
 On branch <branch>
 Your branch is ahead of '<upstream>' by 1 commit.
   (use "git push" to publish your local commits)

 Cherry-pick currently in progress.
   (run "git cherry-pick --continue" to continue)
   (use "git cherry-pick --skip" to skip this patch)
   (use "git cherry-pick --abort" to cancel the cherry-pick operation)

The show_cherry_pick_in_progress() function prints "Cherry-pick
currently in progress". That function does have a more verbose print
based on whether the cherry_pick_head_oid is null or not. If it is not
null, then a more helpful message including which commit is actually
being picked is displayed.

The introduction of the "Cherry-pick currently in progress" message
comes from 4a72486de97b ("fix cherry-pick/revert status after commit",
2019-04-17). This commit modified wt_status_get_state() in order to
detect that a cherry-pick was in progress even if the user has used `git
commit` in the middle of the sequence.

The check used to detect this is the call to sequencer_get_last_command.
If the sequencer indicates that the lass command was a REPLAY_PICK, then
the state->cherry_pick_in_progress is set to 1 and the
cherry_pick_head_oid is initialized to the null_oid. Similar behavior is
done for the case of REPLAY_REVERT.

It happens that this call of sequencer_get_last_command will always
report the action even if the user hasn't interrupted anything. Thus,
during a range of cherry-picks or reverts, the cherry_pick_head_oid and
revert_head_oid will always be overwritten and initialized to the null
oid.

This results in status always displaying the terse message which does
not include commit information.

Fix this by adding an additional check so that we do not re-initialize
the cherry_pick_head_oid or revert_head_oid if we have already set the
cherry_pick_in_progress or revert_in_progress bits. This ensures that
git status will display the more helpful information when its available.
Add a test case covering this behavior.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).

Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md (a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).

To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.

The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.

The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):

  • random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of “get” may or may not be relevant.
  • stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
  • “global information tracker”: you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
  • “goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t”: when it breaks
