Earlier it was noticed that revert has two seemingly overlapping
options, --no-commit and --no-edit.  An ambiguious option,
e.g. "--no", is interpreted as --no-commit.  It was consistent
because the documentation did not advertise the abbreviated
form, --no-edit, anyway, but that did not change the fact that
the case arm to handle --no-edit contained useless choices.

Linus asked to change cherry-pick's default not to record the
original commit object name (i.e. make -r the default).  This
patch introduces a new option, --record-original, for people who
might prefer the command to record it.

Sometime in the near future, we would change the default not to
record the original commit, but not yet.

Update the documentation to match the above change.
