Yeah, that sucks big time.  I never realized there are people
who still are using it, though. git-format-patch used to use it,
but the version was retired exactly five months ago, and there
is no in-tree users anymore.

I guess we could separate out the revision filtering logic in
builtin-log.c:cmd_format_patch() and implement git-cherry as a
new built-in.
