The "0" comes from the initialization of the replay_opts struct (it also
happens if you explicitly disclaim any previous option with
--no-mainline).
I think using 0 as a sentinel is OK here, but the option-parser should
complain when we go out of range. Like this:

Subject: [PATCH] cherry-pick: detect bogus arguments to --mainline
The cherry-pick and revert commands use OPT_INTEGER() to
parse --mainline. The stock parser is smart enough to reject
non-numeric nonsense, but it doesn't know that parent
counting starts at 1.
Worse, the value "0" is indistinguishable from the unset
case, so a user who assumes the counting is 0-based will get
a confusing message:
$ git cherry-pick -m 0 $merge
error: commit ... is a merge but no -m option was given.
Let's use a custom callback that enforces our range.

Another option would be to add a range-checking variant of OPT_INTEGER,
and have something like:
OPT_RANGE('m', "mainline", &opt->mainline, 1, INT_MAX,
N_("parent number"))
I don't know if other places would want to make use of it, though. The
callback approach is way more flexible in general.
