This needs a better description. "Git-cherry between marked commit
and" is a description of an implementation not a description of what's
being achieved. Having read the git cherry man page, it seems like
it's (Find commit) included in marked commit but not in this commit
(or the other way around?). We would need a terser description that
that, though.

How long could the git cherry take to run? If it's more than a
fraction of a second, then we would need to handle its output
asynchronously like we do in [do_file_hl].
