I just mean it's not a trivial way to get back to the state before the
multi-cherry-pick -- you need to know the details of what's going on,
and handle the rest of the cleanup manually.

So, for instance, if you were to package up the above commands in a
shell script, the abort issue is one of those rough edges which would
prevent it from being as convenient as a real git command.  [A
hypothetical extension of the cherry-pick command to handle multiple
commits would presumably offer a "cherry-pick --abort" option that did
everything magically.]
