I tried using the new feature allowing the cherry-picking of multiple
commits at the same time:

  $ git cherry-pick foo~100...foo

I got an error that indicates a potential implementation bug:

  error: cannot fork() for commit: Cannot allocate memory

This is a powerful CentOS server with almost 8GB of free RAM at the
cherry-pick operation runtime.

Thanks, D
