I think the updated text reads much better, i.e. taking from your
range-diff:

>      +	cat >expect <<-EOF &&
>     ++	error: there is nothing to skip
>      +	hint: have you committed already?
>      +	hint: try "git cherry-pick --continue"
>     -+	error: there is nothing to skip
>      +	fatal: cherry-pick failed
>      +	EOF

we say "why we failed" upfront with "error", and then for those who
would need more clues, we give "how you might want to proceed" as an
additionao "hint".  That looks more logical, besides being more
consistent with how advice messages are given in other codepaths.

If there is nothing, perhaps you would need to invent one.  Perhaps
"advice_sequencer_in_use" or something?

Other than that, looks quite good.  Will (re-)queue.
