test: test cherry-pick functionality and output separately
Since v1.7.3-rc0~26^2~9 (revert: report success when using option
--strategy, 2010-07-14), the cherry-pick-many-commits test checks the
format of output written to the terminal during a cherry-pick sequence
in addition to the functionality. There is no reason those have to
be checked in the same test, though, and it has some downsides:
- when progress output is broken, the test result does not convey
whether the functionality was also broken or not
- it is not immediately obvious when reading that these checks are
meant to prevent regressions in details of the output format and
are not just a roundabout way to check functional details like the
number of commits produced
- there is a temptation to include the same kind of output checking
for every new cherry-pick test, which would make future changes
to the output unnecessarily difficult
Put the tests from v1.7.3-rc0~26^2~9 in separate assertions, following
the principle "test one feature at a time".
