Jonathan Nieder 130ab8ab9c Eliminate “Finished cherry-pick/revert” message
When cherry-pick was written (v0.99.6~63, 2005-08-27), “git commit”
was quiet, and the output from cherry-pick provided useful information
about the progress of a rebase.

Now next to the output from “git commit”, the cherry-pick notification
is so much noise (except for the name of the picked commit).

 $ git cherry-pick ..topic
 Finished cherry-pick of 499088b.
 [detached HEAD 17e1ff2] Move glob module to libdpkg

  rename {src => lib/dpkg}/glob.h (93%)

 [detached HEAD 058caa3] libdpkg: Add missing symbols to Versions script

 $

The noise is especially troublesome when sifting through the output of
a rebase or multiple cherry-pick that eventually failed.

With the commit subject, it is already not hard to figure out where
the commit came from.  So drop the “Finished” message.
