Re: [PATCH v2] name_rev: add support for --cherry-picks

As long as we all agree on that, I think we can move forward. Because I think this ...

And obviously, "git log --notes=reverse-cherry-pick" would give the information if we take that "use notes to record reverse map for cherry-picks" route; adding support for "name-rev --cherry-pick" would not help such a use case.
