Of course, I have to say that this is not Tanushree's problem; They only copied what is in https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1854 and @chucklu did not grace us with an explanation, either. Based on historical context, I would wager a bet that the scenario is that some commits that may or may not have been in a different SCM originally and that may or may not have been empty and/or squashed in `master` need to be cherry-picked. But I agree that this should be clarified. I prodded the original wish-haver. Ciao, Dscho
