[PATCH] Allow forcing of a parent commit, even if the parent is not a direct one.

From: Simon 'corecode' Schubert <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:42:51
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

This can be used to compress multiple changesets into one, for example
like

	git cvsexportcommit -P cvshead mybranch

without having to do so in git first.
