* "git cherry-pick -m1" was forbidden when picking a non-merge
39+
commit, even though there _is_ parent number 1 for such a commit.
40+
This was done to avoid mistakes back when "cherry-pick" was about
41+
picking a single commit, but is no longer useful with "cherry-pick"
42+
that can pick a range of commits. Now the "-m$num" option is
43+
allowed when picking any commit, as long as $num names an existing
