Change the description of cherry-pick to state that the given commits
are applied to the current HEAD.  It was unclear exactly where
cherry-pick ends up sticking the given commits.

Almost all commit-creating commands work on nothing but the current HEAD,
and once a reader understands that repeating that "git commit" makes
commit on top of current HEAD, "git am" applies patches on top of current
HEAD, etc. will become excessively noisy, I am afraid.
