When a single argument was a non-commit, the error message used to be:
	fatal: BUG: expected exactly one commit from walk
For multiple arguments, when none of the arguments was a commit, the error was:
	fatal: empty commit set passed

Finally, when some of the arguments were non-commits, we ignored those arguments. Fix this bug and make sure all arguments are commits, and for the first non-commit, error out with:

	fatal: <name>: Can't cherry-pick a <type>

And you were right -- I actually forgot about --stdin, where the else-clause is hit. Added that for now, excluding --stdin.

Done.
