revert: allow reverting a root commit
Although it is probably an uncommon operation, there is no reason to disallow it, as it works just fine. It is the reverse of a cherry-pick of a root commit, which is already allowed. We do have to tweak one check on whether we have a merge commit, which assumed we had at least one parent. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
