Subject: [PATCH] revert: plug memory leak in "cherry-pick root commit"
codepath
The empty tree passed as common ancestor to merge_trees() when
cherry-picking a parentless commit is allocated on the heap and never
freed. Leaking such a small one-time allocation is not a very big
problem, but now that "git cherry-pick" can cherry-pick multiple
commits it can start to add up.
Avoid the leak by storing the fake tree exactly once in the BSS
section (i.e., use a static). While at it, let's add a test to make
sure cherry-picking multiple parentless commits continues to work.
