PATCH 1/1 Use nice names in conflict markers during cherry-pick/revert.

Always call the current HEAD 'HEAD', and name the patch being cherry-picked or reverted by its oneline subject rather than its SHA1. This matches git am's behavior and is done because users most commonly are cherry-picking by SHA1 rather than by ref name.
