No I mean it removes CHERRY_PICK_HEAD/REVERT_HEAD and so cancels the 
conflicting pick/revert, it does not abort the operation as a whole. If 
the conflicting pick/revert was the last in a range then we want it to 
remove .git/sequencer as well as the ..._HEAD file as it is easy to 
forget to run --continue in that case.

Best Wishes
