Okay. Since now both you and Junio asked for it, and I made today a Git 
day for me, I looked into this.

I'm not yet done, but preliminary results are: 

- cherry-pick calls merge-recursive, which in turn calls unpack_trees(), 
  which in turn gives the ball to threeway_merge. But for d/f conflicts, 
  it goes wrong.

- Documentation/technical/trivial-merge.txt is maybe about a trivial 
  merge. But the document is not trivial in and of itself.

I'll keep going,
