  sequencer.c: teach append_signoff how to detect duplicate s-o-b
  sequencer.c: always separate "(cherry picked from" from commit body
  sequencer.c: require a conforming footer to be preceded by a blank line
  sequencer.c: recognize "(cherry picked from ..." as part of s-o-b footer
  t/t3511: add some tests of 'cherry-pick -s' functionality
