Thanks.  New commit message de-emphasizing "four":

revert: Don't create invalid replay_opts in parse_args

The "--ff" command-line option cannot be used with some other
command-line options.  However, parse_args still parses these
incompatible options into a replay_opts structure for use by the rest
of the program.  Although pick_commits, the current gatekeeper to the
cherry-pick machinery, checks the validity of the replay_opts
structure before before starting its operation, there will be multiple
entry points to the cherry-pick machinery in future.  To futureproof
the code and catch these errors in one place, make sure that an
invalid replay_opts structure is not created by parse_args in the
first place.  Also ensure that regressions in maintaining this
invariant are caught in the future by adding an assertion in
pick_commits.
