cherry-pick: fix docs describing handling of empty commitsjk/cherry-pick-docfix
Commit b27cfb0 (git-cherry-pick: Add keep-redundant-commits option, 2012-04-20), added the --keep-redundant-commits option, and switched the default behavior (without that option) to silently ignore empty commits. Later, the second half of that commit was reverted in ac2b0e8 (cherry-pick: regression fix for empty commits, 2012-05-29), but the documentation added for --keep-redundant-commits was never updated to match. Let's do so now. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

--keep-redundant-commits::
If a commit being cherry picked duplicates a commit already in the
current history, it will become empty. By default these
- redundant commits are ignored. This option overrides that behavior and
+ redundant commits cause `cherry-pick` to stop so the user can
+ examine the commit. This option overrides that behavior and
creates an empty commit object. Implies `--allow-empty`.
