This can be useful to do something like:
git rev-list --reverse master -- README | git cherry-pick -n --stdin
without using xargs.

This makes it possible to pass many commits or ranges of
commits to "git cherry-pick" and to "git revert" to process
many commits instead of just one.
In fact commits are now enumerated with an equivalent of
git rev-list --no-walk "$@"
so all the following are now possible:
git cherry-pick master~2..master
git cherry-pick ^master~2 master
git cherry-pick master^ master
The following should be possible but does not work:
git cherry-pick -2 master
because "git rev-list --no-walk -2 master" only outputs
one commit as "--no-walk" seems to take over "-2".
And there is currently no way to continue cherry-picking or
reverting if there is a problem with one commit. It's also
not possible to abort the whole process. Some future work
should provide the --continue and --abort options to do
just that.

This is needed because the following commits will make it
possible to cherry-pick many commits instead of just one.
So it will be possible to pass for example ranges of commits
to "git cherry-pick" and this means that it will not be
possible to use the arguments passed to "git cherry-pick" in
the help message.
The help message will have to use the sha1 of the currently
processed commit.

This is needed because we are going to make it possible
to cherry-pick many commits instead of just one in the following
commits. And we will be able to do that by just calling
do_pick_commit() once for each commit to cherry-pick.

When cherry-picking, usually the new and old commit encodings are both
UTF-8. Most old iconv implementations do not support this trivial
conversion, so on old platforms, out->message remains NULL, and later
attempts to read it segfault.
Fix this by noticing the input and output encodings match and skipping
the iconv step, like the other reencode_string() call sites already do.
Also stop segfaulting on other iconv failures: if iconv fails for some
other reason, the best we can do is to pass the old message through.
This fixes a regression introduced in v1.7.1-rc0~15^2~2 (revert:
clarify label on conflict hunks, 2010-03-20).

This patch makes it possible to use a different merge strategy when
cherry-picking. This is usefull mainly for debugging purposes as it
allows to see if some failures are caused by the merge strategy used or
not.

When writing conflict hunks in ‘diff3 -m’ format, also add a label to
the common ancestor. Especially in a cherry-pick, it is not immediately
obvious without such a label what the common ancestor represents.
git rerere does not have trouble parsing the new output and its preimage
ids are unchanged since it includes its own code for recreating conflict
hunks. No other code in git parses conflict hunks.

When reverting a commit, the commit being merged is not the commit
to revert itself but its parent. Add “parent of” to the conflict
hunk label to make this more clear.
The conflict hunk labels are all pieces of a single string written in
the new get_message() function. Avoid some complication by using
mempcpy to advance a pointer as the result is written.
Also free the corresponding temporary buffer (it was leaked before).
This is not important because it is a small one-time allocation. It
would become a memory leak if unnoticed when libifying revert.
This patch uses calls to strlen() instead of integer constants in some
places. GCC will compute the length at compile time; I am not sure
about other compilers, but this is not performance-critical anyway.

This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-show-branch.c builtin-show-ref.c
builtin-shortlog.o builtin-show-branch.o builtin-show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c
you get
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> [type]
builtin/ builtin.h
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o show-branch.c show-branch.o show-ref.c show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c
which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.
NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.
So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
