It's not a bug you introduced, and ideally it would be a separate patch on its own, against the js/cherry-pick-usability branch.

Yep, it's Christian's fault (for introducing multiple-cherry-pick).
Patch below. The things I do... :)

Part of the review was about examples where it was not simple code movement. Maybe if there is another round the thing to do would be to send a patch generated with -B -M to allow others to more easily check it.
Thanks.

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.
