DESCRIPTION
-----------
linkgit:gitrevisions[7].
Sets of commits can be passed but no traversal is done by
default, as if the '--no-walk' option was specified, see
- linkgit:git-rev-list[1].
+ linkgit:git-rev-list[1]. Note that specifying a range will
+ feed all <commit>... arguments to a single revision walk
+ (see a later example that uses 'maint master..next').
-e::
--edit::
cherry-pick'ed commit, then a fast forward to this commit will
be performed.
+--allow-empty::
+ By default, cherry-picking an empty commit will fail,
+ indicating that an explicit invocation of `git commit
+ --allow-empty` is required. This option overrides that
+ behavior, allowing empty commits to be preserved automatically
+ in a cherry-pick. Note that when "--ff" is in effect, empty
+ commits that meet the "fast-forward" requirement will be kept
+ even without this option. Note also, that use of this option only
+ keeps commits that were initially empty (i.e. the commit recorded the
+ same tree as its parent). Commits which are made empty due to a
+ previous commit are dropped. To force the inclusion of those commits
+ use `--keep-redundant-commits`.
+
+--keep-redundant-commits::
+ If a commit being cherry picked duplicates a commit already in the
+ current history, it will become empty. By default these
+ redundant commits are ignored. This option overrides that behavior and
+ creates an empty commit object. Implies `--allow-empty`.
+
--strategy=<strategy>::
Use the given merge strategy. Should only be used once.
See the MERGE STRATEGIES section in linkgit:git-merge[1]
Pass the merge strategy-specific option through to the
merge strategy. See linkgit:git-merge[1] for details.

EXAMPLES
--------
-git cherry-pick master::
+`git cherry-pick master`::
Apply the change introduced by the commit at the tip of the
master branch and create a new commit with this change.
-git cherry-pick ..master::
-git cherry-pick ^HEAD master::
+`git cherry-pick ..master`::
+`git cherry-pick ^HEAD master`::
Apply the changes introduced by all commits that are ancestors
of master but not of HEAD to produce new commits.
-git cherry-pick master{tilde}4 master{tilde}2::
+`git cherry-pick maint next ^master`::
+`git cherry-pick maint master..next`::
+
+ Apply the changes introduced by all commits that are
+ ancestors of maint or next, but not master or any of its
+ ancestors. Note that the latter does not mean `maint` and
+ everything between `master` and `next`; specifically,
+ `maint` will not be used if it is included in `master`.
+
+`git cherry-pick master~4 master~2`::
Apply the changes introduced by the fifth and third last
commits pointed to by master and create 2 new commits with
these changes.
-git cherry-pick -n master~1 next::
+`git cherry-pick -n master~1 next`::
Apply to the working tree and the index the changes introduced
by the second last commit pointed to by master and by the last
commit pointed to by next, but do not create any commit with
these changes.
-git cherry-pick --ff ..next::
+`git cherry-pick --ff ..next`::
If history is linear and HEAD is an ancestor of next, update
the working tree and advance the HEAD pointer to match next.
are in next but not HEAD to the current branch, creating a new
commit for each new change.
-git rev-list --reverse master \-- README | git cherry-pick -n --stdin::
+`git rev-list --reverse master -- README | git cherry-pick -n --stdin`::
Apply the changes introduced by all commits on the master
branch that touched README to the working tree and index,
