revert: allow reverting a root commit
Although it is probably an uncommon operation, there is no
reason to disallow it, as it works just fine. It is the
reverse of a cherry-pick of a root commit, which is already
allowed.
We do have to tweak one check on whether we have a merge
commit, which assumed we had at least one parent.
