The output of `git-cherry --help` has (last few lines):
Show 7 quoted lines

>    - 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?
