[PATCH 3/4] cherry-pick/revert: respect order of revisions to pick

From
Yy@google.com <y@google.com>

From: Martin von Zweigbergk <martin.von.zweigbergk@gmail.com>

'git cherry-pick A B' implicitly sends --no-walk=sorted to the revision walker, which means that the older of A and B will be applied first, which is most likely surprising to most. Fix this by instead sending --no-walk=unsorted to the revision walker.

This has actually been reported before, in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/164794/focus=164807, where I apparently replied myself. Incidentally, it seems like the unrelated bug in 'git show' I reported in that thread is the one that Junio mentioned got fixed recently.
