Git produces a misleading error when you tell it `git revert -m 0`.

Thanks.

I think this is the same issue as the one with 'cherry-pick' that
was reported earlier.  We have a fix in the 'master' branch already;
please try it out.

Specifically, in master:

$ ./git revert afd6726309
error: commit afd6726309f57f532b4b989a75c1392359c611cc is a merge but
no -m option was given.
fatal: revert failed
$ ./git revert -m 0 afd6726309
error: option `mainline' expects a number greater than zero

Yes, exactly.

Thanks.
