The output of `git-cherry --help` has (last few lines):
Show 7 quoted lines
> ... > By specifying base as the limit, you can avoid listing commits between base and topic: > > $ git cherry origin/master topic base > - cccc000... commit C > + bbbb000... commit B > - aaaa000... commit A
The output of `git cherry origin/master topic base` suggests that it list commits between base and topic instead of branching point. But "you can avoid listing commits" -- phrase is confusing.
Perhaps it must be reworded for clarity?
