Oh. ;) I am not sure. I personally think that --forget is a better name
than --quit because when I hear --quit I tend to look into the manual
page first to check if there are weird side effects (and then the manual
page says that it "forgets" ;D).
So I'd rather favor adding --forget to cherry-pick/revert instead... or
this:

You're probably right. I have no other use-case in mind than "oh I
forgot that I was rebasing... now just abort that and don't bother me
further (i.e. please don't bring me back)"
