Curious.

This test is broken in the second parent of 3af0bba8b (i.e. the tip of
cc/cherry-pick-stdin), but in 3af0bba8b, i.e. the merge result, it does
seem to be fine.

What am I missing???

The fix is in commit v1.7.2-rc0~6^2 (DWIM 'git show -5' to 'git show
--do-walk -5', 2010-06-01):

 disable --no-walk in this case so ‘git show’ and future ‘git
 cherry-pick’ can behave as expected.

Ah, that's it.  3af0bba (Merge branch 'cc/cherry-pick-stdin' into next,
2010-06-27) is on 'next', so this has to be queued as an evil merge of
your "DWIM" thing into cc/cherry-pick-stdin.  That way, when the latter
graduates to 'master', the test will be marked as "expect_success".

Thanks.
