Not specifying '-m 1' results in cherry-pick refusing to handle merge commits, while specifying '-m 1' fails on non-merge commits. This patch allows '-m 1' for non-merge commits. Besides, as mainline is always the only parent for a non-merge commit, it made little sense to disable it in the first place.
