Yes, you and I disagree about what the behavior should be.

I actively prefer the current behavior over the one you proposed, unless I'm misunderstanding the one you proposed. As I understand it, there would be no way to undo the mistake of cherry-picking a change that didn't belong on "maint".

You said that 3-way merge doesn't fit your idea of what a merge is. It does fit mine.

I'm even slightly against there being an option for the 'git cherry' based thing. I think it would be a support burden. But if someone else wants to do the work of implementing it, I wouldn't stop them (and would instead just help make sure the documentation is crystal clear).

Hoping that clarifies, Jonathan
