When cherry-pick was written (v0.99.6~63, 2005-08-27), “git commit”
was quiet, and the output from cherry-pick provided useful information
about the progress of a rebase.
Now next to the output from “git commit”, the cherry-pick notification
is so much noise (except for the name of the picked commit).
$ git cherry-pick ..topic
Finished cherry-pick of 499088b.

[detached HEAD 058caa3] libdpkg: Add missing symbols to Versions script

The noise is especially troublesome when sifting through the output of
a rebase or multiple cherry-pick that eventually failed.
With the commit subject, it is already not hard to figure out where
the commit came from. So drop the “Finished” message.
