When giving multiple individual revisions to cherry-pick or revert, as
in 'git cherry-pick A B' or 'git revert B A', one would expect them to
be picked/reverted in the order given on the command line. They are
instead ordered by their commit timestamp -- in chronological order
for "cherry-pick" and in reverse chronological order for
"revert". This matches the order in which one would usually give them
on the command line, making this bug somewhat hard to notice. Still,
it has been reported at least once before [1].
It seems like the chronological sorting happened by accident because
the revision walker has traditionally always sorted commits in reverse
chronological order when rev_info.no_walk was enabled. In the case of
'git revert B A' where B is newer than A, this sorting is a no-op. For
'git cherry-pick A B', the sorting would reverse the arguments, but
because the sequencer also flips the rev_info.reverse flag when
picking (as opposed to reverting), the end result is a chronological
order. The rev_info.reverse flag was probably flipped so that the
revision walker emits B before C in 'git cherry-pick A..C'; that it
happened to effectively undo the unexpected sorting done when not
walking, was probably a coincidence that allowed this bug to happen at
all.
Fix the bug by telling the revision walker not to sort the commits
when not walking. The only case we want to reverse the order is now
when cherry-picking and walking revisions (rev_info.no_walk = 0).

Since v1.7.3-rc0~26^2~9 (revert: report success when using option
--strategy, 2010-07-14), the cherry-pick-many-commits test checks the
format of output written to the terminal during a cherry-pick sequence
in addition to the functionality. There is no reason those have to
be checked in the same test, though, and it has some downsides:
- when progress output is broken, the test result does not convey
whether the functionality was also broken or not
- it is not immediately obvious when reading that these checks are
meant to prevent regressions in details of the output format and
are not just a roundabout way to check functional details like the
number of commits produced
- there is a temptation to include the same kind of output checking
for every new cherry-pick test, which would make future changes
to the output unnecessarily difficult
Put the tests from v1.7.3-rc0~26^2~9 in separate assertions, following
the principle "test one feature at a time".

Ever since v1.7.9.2~13 (2012-02-01), git's diffstat-style summary line
produced by "git apply --stat", "git diff --stat", and "git commit"
varies by locale, producing test failures when GETTEXT_POISON is set.

"git diff --stat" and "git apply --stat" now learn to print the line
"%d files changed, %d insertions(+), %d deletions(-)" in singular form
whenever applicable. "0 insertions" and "0 deletions" are also omitted
unless they are both zero.
This matches how versions of "diffstat" that are not prehistoric produced
their output, and also makes this line translatable.

When cherry-pick was written (v0.99.6~63, 2005-08-27), “git commit”
was quiet, and the output from cherry-pick provided useful information
about the progress of a rebase.
Now next to the output from “git commit”, the cherry-pick notification
is so much noise (except for the name of the picked commit).
$ git cherry-pick ..topic
Finished cherry-pick of 499088b.

[detached HEAD 058caa3] libdpkg: Add missing symbols to Versions script

The noise is especially troublesome when sifting through the output of
a rebase or multiple cherry-pick that eventually failed.
With the commit subject, it is already not hard to figure out where
the commit came from. So drop the “Finished” message.

In a test like:
test "$(git rev-parse --verify HEAD)" != "$(git rev-parse --verify fourth)"
the --verify does not accomplish much, since the exit status of
git rev-parse is not propagated to test. So it is more robust to
define and use the helper functions check_head_differs_from() and
check_head_equals() as done by this patch.

Instead of saying "Finished one cherry-pick." or "Finished one revert.",
we now say "Finished cherry-pick of commit <abbreviated sha1>." or
"Finished revert of commit <abbreviated sha1>." which is more informative,
especially when cherry-picking or reverting many commits.
In case of failure the message is now "Automatic cherry-pick of commit
<abbreviated sha1> failed." instead of "Automatic cherry-pick failed."

"git cherry-pick foo" has always reported success with
"Finished one cherry-pick" but "cherry-pick --strategy"
does not print anything. So move the code to write that
message from do_recursive_merge() to do_cherry_pick()
so other strategies can share it.
This patch also refactors the code that prints a message
like "Automatic cherry-pick failed. <help message>". This
code was duplicated in both do_recursive_merge() and
do_pick_commit().
To do that, now do_recursive_merge() returns an int to signal
success or failure. And in case of failure we just return 1
from do_pick_commit() instead of doing "exit(1)" from either
do_recursive_merge() or do_pick_commit().

This commit fixes one test in t3508 by making "cherry-pick -<num>"
walk the history.
A test update from Elijah Newren is squashed as an evil merge.
This can be useful to do something like:
git rev-list --reverse master -- README | git cherry-pick -n --stdin
without using xargs.

Each of the tests in t3508 begins by navigating to a sane state:
git checkout master &&
git reset --hard $commit
If a previous test left unmerged files around, they are untouched and
the checkout fails, causing later tests to fail, too. This is not a
problem in practice because no test except the final one produces
unmerged files.
But as a futureproofing measure, it is still best to avoid the problem
with 'checkout -f'. In particular, this is needed for new tests to be
added to the end of the script.

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".
