Well, as Junio mentioned, "--orphan" could be deprecated in favor of
"--no-parent"; the uncommon nature of this task works to our
advantage, in that it makes a deprecation of "--orphan" easy.

I agree that _some_ cases would be more natural with commit --no-parent,
but I disagree that it is a better solution in general.

Just for the record, in my later message after reading Peff's response, I
said I agree that adding it to "commit" would be a mistake.
