Junio C Hamano 191faaf726 revert: --reference should apply only to 'revert', not 'cherry-pick'
As 'revert' and 'cherry-pick' share a lot of code, it is easy to
modify the behaviour of one command and inadvertently affect the
other.  An earlier change to teach the '--reference' option and the
'revert.reference' configuration variable to the former was not
careful enough and 'cherry-pick --reference' wasn't rejected as an
error.

It is possible to think 'cherry-pick -x' might benefit from the
'--reference' option, but it is fundamentally different from
'revert' in at least two ways to make it questionable:

 - 'revert' names a commit that is ancestor of the resulting commit,
   so an abbreviated object name with human readable title is
   sufficient to identify the named commit uniquely without using
   the full object name.  On the other hand, 'cherry-pick'
   usually [*] picks a commit that is not an ancestor.  It might be
   even picking a private commit that never becomes part of the
   public history.

 - The whole commit message of 'cherry-pick' is a copy of the
   original commit, and there is nothing gained to repeat only the
   title part on 'cherry-picked from' message.

[*] well, you could revert and then you can pick the original that
    was reverted to get back to where you were, but then you can
    revert the revert to do the same thing.
