-	Sets of commits can be passed but no traversal is done by

 -e::
 --edit::
 	With this option, 'git cherry-pick' will let you edit the commit
 	message prior to committing.
 
--x::
-	When recording the commit, append to the original commit
-	message a note that indicates which commit this change
-	was cherry-picked from.  Append the note only for cherry
-	picks without conflicts.  Do not use this option if
-	you are cherry-picking from your private branch because
-	the information is useless to the recipient.  If on the
-	other hand you are cherry-picking between two publicly
-	visible branches (e.g. backporting a fix to a
-	maintenance branch for an older release from a
-	development branch), adding this information can be
-	useful.
-
--r::
-	It used to be that the command defaulted to do `-x`
-	described above, and `-r` was to disable it.  Now the
-	default is not to do `-x` so this option is a no-op.
+--ff::
+	If the current HEAD is the same as the parent of the
+	cherry-pick'ed commit, then a fast forward to this commit will
+	be performed.
