Richard Möhn 654e4bf56f Cherry-pick recipe: clean up after picking
In b3025e3fe I had written that when following my recipe, the repository
remains in cherry-picking mode afterwards. In issue #516 I was told that
Repository.state_cleanup() is needed to correct that. Therefore add it
to the recipe.

Also add a note near the documentation for cherry-pick, so that nobody
will overlook this again. Apparently there are other times when you need
to do Repository.state_cleanup() as well, but it's not documented, I
don't know when and I don't want to take the time and find out. So leave
it at that for now.

The convenient way to cherry-pick a commit is to use
:py:meth:`.Repository.cherrypick()`. It is limited to cherry-picking with a
working copy and on-disk index.
.. code-block:: bash
$> cd /path/to/repo
$> git checkout basket
$> git cherry-pick 9e044d03c
.. code-block:: python
repo = pygit2.Repository('/path/to/repo')
repo.checkout('basket')
cherry_id = pygit2.Oid('9e044d03c')
repo.cherrypick(cherry_id)
if repo.index.conflicts is None:
tree_id = repo.index.write_tree()
cherry = repo.get(cherry_id)
committer = pygit2.Signature('Archimedes', 'archy@jpl-classics.org')
repo.create_commit(basket.name, cherry.author, committer,
cherry.message, tree_id, [basket.target])
del basket # outdated, prevent from accidentally using it
repo.state_cleanup()

Cherry-picking a commit without a working copy
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This way of cherry-picking gives you more control over the process and works
on bare repositories as well as repositories with a working copy.
:py:meth:`~.Repository.merge_trees()` can also be used for other tasks, for
example `three-argument rebases`_.
.. _`three-argument rebases`: https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-rebase.html
.. code-block:: python
repo = pygit2.Repository('/path/to/repo')
cherry = repo.revparse_single('9e044d03c')
basket = repo.lookup_branch('basket')
base = repo.merge_base(cherry.oid, basket.target)
base_tree = cherry.parents[0].tree
index = repo.merge_trees(base_tree, basket, cherry)
tree_id = index.write_tree(repo)
author = cherry.author
committer = pygit2.Signature('Archimedes', 'archy@jpl-classics.org')
repo.create_commit(basket.name, author, committer, cherry.message,
tree_id, [basket.target])
del None # outdated, prevent from accidentally using it
