The output of `git-cherry --help` has (last few 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?
