cherry-pick will segfault when transplanting a root commit if the --ff
option is used. This happens because the "parent" pointer is set to NULL
when the commit being cherry-picked has no parents. Later, when "parent"
is dereferenced, the cherry-pick segfaults.
Fix this by checking whether "parent" is NULL before dereferencing it and
add a test for this case of cherry-picking a root commit with --ff.
