Junio C HamanoEarlier it was noticed that revert has two seemingly overlapping options, --no-commit and --no-edit. An ambiguious option, e.g. "--no", is interpreted as --no-commit. It was consistent because the documentation did not advertise the abbreviated form, --no-edit, anyway, but that did not change the fact that the case arm to handle --no-edit contained useless choices.
Linus asked to change cherry-pick's default not to record the original commit object name (i.e. make -r the default). This patch introduces a new option, --record-original, for people who might prefer the command to record it.
Sometime in the near future, we would change the default not to record the original commit, but not yet.
Update the documentation to match the above change.
