Add a `--revert <branch>` mode to git replay that undoes the changes introduced by the specified commits. Like --onto and --advance, --revert is a standalone mode: it takes a branch argument and updates that branch with the newly created revert commits. At GitLab, we need this in Gitaly for reverting commits directly on bare repositories without requiring a working tree checkout. The approach is the same as sequencer.c's do_pick_commit() -- cherry-pick and revert are just the same three-way merge with swapped arguments: - Cherry-pick: merge(ancestor=parent, ours=current, theirs=commit) - Revert: merge(ancestor=commit, ours=current, theirs=parent) We swap the base and pickme trees passed to merge_incore_nonrecursive() to reverse the diff direction. Revert commit messages follow the usual git revert conventions: prefixed with "Revert" (or "Reapply" when reverting a revert), and including "This reverts commit <hash>.". The author is set to the current user rather than preserving the original author, matching git revert behavior.
