cherry-pick: add --allow-empty-message option
Scripts such as "git rebase -i" cannot currently cherry-pick commits which have an empty commit message, as git cherry-pick calls git commit without the --allow-empty-message option. Add an --allow-empty-message option to git cherry-pick which is passed through to git commit, so this behaviour can be overridden.
