In commit b00bf1c9a8dd ("git-rebase: make --allow-empty-message the
default", 2018-06-27), several arguments were given for transplanting
empty commits without halting and asking the user for confirmation on
each commit. These arguments were incomplete because the logic clearly
assumed the only cases under consideration were transplanting of commits
with empty messages (see the comment about "There are two sources for
commits with empty messages). It didn't discuss or even consider
rewords, squashes, etc. where the user is explicitly asked for a new
commit message and provides an empty one. (My bad, I totally should
have thought about that at the time, but just didn't.)
Rewords and squashes are significantly different, though, as described
by SZEDER:
Let's suppose you start an interactive rebase, choose a commit to
squash, save the instruction sheet, rebase fires up your editor, and
then you notice that you mistakenly chose the wrong commit to
squash. What do you do, how do you abort?
Before [that commit] you could clear the commit message, exit the
editor, and then rebase would say "Aborting commit due to empty
commit message.", and you get to run 'git rebase --abort', and start
over.
But [since that commit, ...] saving the commit message as is would
let rebase continue and create a bunch of unnecessary objects, and
then you would have to use the reflog to return to the pre-rebase
state.
Also, he states:
The instructions in the commit message template, which is shown for
'reword' and 'squash', too, still say...
# Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting
# with '#' will be ignored, and an empty message aborts the commit.
These are sound arguments that when editing commit messages during a
sequencer operation, that if the commit message is empty then the
operation should halt and ask the user to correct. The arguments in
commit b00bf1c9a8dd (referenced above) still apply when transplanting
previously created commits with empty commit messages, so the sequencer
should not halt for those.
Furthermore, all rationale so far applies equally for cherry-pick as for
rebase. Therefore, make the code default to --allow-empty-message when
transplanting an existing commit, and to default to halting when the
user is asked to edit a commit message and provides an empty one -- for
both rebase and cherry-pick.

Scripts such as "git rebase -i" cannot currently cherry-pick commits
which have an empty commit message, as git cherry-pick calls git
commit without the --allow-empty-message option.
Add an --allow-empty-message option to git cherry-pick which is passed
through to git commit, so this behaviour can be overridden.

The earlier "--keep-redundant-commit" series broke "cherry-pick"
that is given a commit whose change is already in the current
history. Such a cherry-pick would result in an empty change, and
should stop with an error, telling the user that conflict resolution
may have made the result empty (which is exactly what is happening),
but we silently dropped the change on the floor without any message
nor non-zero exit code.

Since we've added the --allow-empty and --keep-redundant-commits
options to git cherry-pick we should also add a test to ensure that its working
properly.

A test case is added but the problem can only be seen when running
the test case with --valgrind.

The test wanted to make sure that cherry-pick exits with status 1,
but with the way it was placed after "git checkout master &&" meant
that it could have misjudged success if checkout barfed with the
same failure status.

When a cherry-pick of an empty commit is done, release the lock
held on the index.
The fix is the same as was applied to similar code in 4271666046.
