Re: [PATCH] Allow cherry-picking root commits

Hmm, does "cherry-pick a root commit" even have a well defined semantics,
other than "if there is no overlap in files just add the files in"?  I
have a feeling that it is more likely to be a user error, a sign that the
user mistyped the name of the commit to pick.
