In the event of a failed cherry-pick, the response provides context about
2019-12-26 22:10:19 +05:30
why:
```json
{
"message": "Sorry, we cannot cherry-pick this commit automatically. This commit may already have been cherry-picked, or a more recent commit may have updated some of its content.",
"error_code": "empty"
}
```
In this case, the cherry-pick failed because the changeset was empty and likely
indicates that the commit already exists in the target branch. The other
possible error code is `conflict` , which indicates that there was a merge
conflict.
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
When `dry_run` is enabled, the server attempts to apply the cherry-pick _but
2020-10-24 23:57:45 +05:30
not actually commit any resulting changes_. If the cherry-pick applies cleanly,
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
the API responds with `200 OK` :
2020-10-24 23:57:45 +05:30
```json
{
"dry_run": "success"
}
```
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
In the event of a failure, an error displays that is identical to a failure without
2020-10-24 23:57:45 +05:30
dry run.

{
"message": "Sorry, we cannot revert this commit automatically. This commit may already have been reverted, or a more recent commit may have updated some of its content.",

In this case, the revert failed because the attempted revert generated a merge
conflict. The other possible error code is `empty` , which indicates that the
changeset was empty, likely due to the change having already been reverted.
