Tested on Git 2.34: squashing three wip commits through GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR, the combined commit message, cherry-pick of a branch tip, cherry-pick conflict with abort, amend, and a warning about rebasing shared branches.

Turn wip commits into one clean commit, apply a single commit to another branch, fix the previous commit, and bail out safely when a cherry-pick conflicts. Includes the non-interactive rebase trick for scripts.
