I think the revision machinery is the same speed as the "git cherry"
code, it's just that "git cherry" ignores merges and the cherry code in
revision.c doesn't.
Since the patch ID of a merge is just being calculated to its first
parent, I don't think it's meaningful to consider merges for "log
--cherry" but I can't quite convince myself that there's no corner case
where it is.
The following patch makes the revision cherry machinery ignore merges
unconditionally. With it applied, there's not noticeable difference in
speed between "git cherry" and "git log --cherry".
