Support Cherry-pick feature on the V8 repo

Project Member Reported by hablich@chromium.org, Sep 11 2017

Issue description

I just tried to cherry-pick https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/v8/v8/+/657386 unto 6.2 via Gerrits Cherry-pick feature. It asks me for the branch to merge to and I enter "branch-heads/6.2" which results in the following error:

Could not perform action: Branch refs/heads/branch-heads/6.2 does not exist.

Additionally, is there a way to change the template for the Cherry-pick message?

The message is correct: "refs/heads/branch-heads/6.2" doesn't exist. This is because you entered "branch-heads/6.2", which isn't a fully-qualified ref (all refs start with "refs/..."), so it assumed you meant a branch, and added "refs/heads/" to the front.

To target the correct ref, you want to type "refs/branch-heads/6.2".

We do not currently have a way to intercept the Cherry-pick message like we do for Reverts. The feature request for that API is on gerrit-team's plate, but because we have "git drover", it hasn't been a priority.
