The empty tree passed as common ancestor to merge_trees() when
cherry-picking a parentless commit is allocated on the heap and never
freed. Leaking such a small one-time allocation is not a very big
problem, but now that "git cherry-pick" can cherry-pick multiple
commits it can start to add up.
Avoid the leak by storing the fake tree exactly once in the BSS
section (i.e., use a static). While at it, let's add a test to make
sure cherry-picking multiple parentless commits continues to work.

Note that there is an expected failure when running:
git cherry-pick -3 fourth
that's because:
git rev-list --no-walk -3 fourth
produce only one commit and not 3 as "--no-walk" seems to
take over "-3".

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.

There was some dead code and option -x appeared in the short

Makefile: reenable install with NO_CURL

get_cwd_relative(): do not misinterpret suffix as subdirectory
Setting NO_CURL leaves some variables like REMOTE_CURL_ALIASES
empty, which creates no fun when for-looping over
$(REMOTE_CURL_ALIASES) unconditionally. Make it conditional.

If the current working directory is the same as the work tree path
plus a suffix, e.g. 'work' and 'work-xyz', then the suffix '-xyz'
would be interpreted as a subdirectory of 'work'.

While trying to determine whether or not the given paths are outside
the work tree, the following command would read from it anyways and
