Currently, append_signoff() performs a search for the last line of the
commit buffer by searching back from the end until it hits a newline. If
it reaches the beginning of the buffer without finding a newline, that
means either the commit message was empty, or there was only one line in it.
In this case, append_signoff will skip the call to has_conforming_footer
since it already knows that it is necessary to append a newline before
appending the sob.
Let's perform this function inside of has_conforming_footer where it
appropriately belongs and generalize it so that we require that the
footer paragraph be an actual distinct paragraph separated by a blank
line.

It even included support for accepting indented continuation lines for
multiline fields. Unfortunately the multiline field support is broken
because it checks whether buf[k] (the first character of the *next* line)
instead of buf[i] is a whitespace character. The result is that any footer
with a continuation line is not accepted, since the last continuation line
neither starts with an RFC2822 field name nor is followed by a continuation
line.
That this has remained broken for so long is good evidence that nobody
actually needed multiline fields. Rip out the broken continuation support.
There should be no functional change.

Various codepaths checked if two encoding names are the same using
ad-hoc code and some of them ended up asking iconv() to convert
between "utf8" and "UTF-8". The former is not a valid way to spell
the encoding name, but often people use it by mistake, and we
equated them in some but not all codepaths. Introduce a new helper
function to make these codepaths consistent.

is_encoding_utf8().
Introduce same_encoding() helper function to make these callers use
the same logic. Notably, is_encoding_utf8() has a work-around for
common misconfiguration to use "utf8" to name UTF-8 encoding, which
does not match "UTF-8" hence strcasecmp() would not consider the
same. Make use of it in this helper function.

"git cherry-pick A C B" used to replay changes in A and then B and
then C if these three commits had committer timestamps in that
order, which is not what the user who said "A C B" naturally expects.
* mz/cherry-pick-cmdline-order:
cherry-pick/revert: respect order of revisions to pick
demonstrate broken 'git cherry-pick three one two'
teach log --no-walk=unsorted, which avoids sorting
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).

but we silently dropped the change on the floor without any message

The git-cherry-pick --allow-empty command by default only preserves empty
commits that were originally empty, i.e only those commits for which
<commit>^{tree} and <commit>^^{tree} are equal. By default commits which are
non-empty, but were made empty by the inclusion of a prior commit on the current
history are filtered out. This option allows us to override that behavior and
include redundant commits as empty commits in the change history.
Note that this patch changes the default behavior of git cherry-pick slightly.
Prior to this patch all commits in a cherry-pick sequence were applied and git
commit was run. The implication here was that, if a commit was redundant, and
the commit did not trigger the fast forward logic, the git commit operation, and
therefore the git cherry-pick operation would fail, displaying the cherry pick
advice (i.e. run git commit --allow-empty). With this patch however, such
redundant commits are automatically skipped without stopping, unless
--keep-redundant-commits is specified, in which case, they are automatically
applied as empty commits.

git cherry-pick fails when picking a non-ff commit that is empty. The advice
given with the failure is that a git-commit --allow-empty should be issued to
explicitly add the empty commit during the cherry pick. This option allows a
user to specify before hand that they want to keep the empty commit. This
eliminates the need to issue both a cherry pick and a commit operation.

When cherry-pick fails it offers a helpful hint about how to
proceed. The hint tells the user how to do the cleanup
needed by the conflicted cherry-pick and finish the job after
conflict resolution. In case of cherry-pick --no-commit, the
hint goes too far. It tells the user to finish up with
'git commit'. That is not what this git-cherry-pick was
trying to do in the first place.
Restrict the hint in case of --no-commit to avoid giving this
extra advice.

calling into sequencer_pick_revisions(). In the future, we can write
a new "foo" builtin that calls into the sequencer like:
memset(&opts, 0, sizeof(opts));
opts.action = REPLAY_FOO;
