In that case, let's not drop it. The original impetus for this idea came
from cherry-picking a range of commits where one of the commits in the
range patched a file that didn't exist on the target branch, so in this
case skipping was the right course of action.

In any case, I believe that giving the user more information in this
case is, at worst, neutral.
