[PATCH] revision walker: --cherry-pick is a limited operation

From: Johannes Schindelin <hidden>

We used to rely on the fact that cherry-pick would trigger the code path 
to set limited = 1 in handle_commit(), when an uninteresting commit was 
encountered.

However, when cherry picking between two independent branches, i.e. when 
there are no merge bases, and there is only linear development (which can 
happen when you cvsimport a fork of a project), no uninteresting commit 
will be encountered.

So set limited = 1 when --cherry-pick was asked for.

Noticed by Martin Bähr.
