Yeah, it made me think of cherry-picks, essentially (specifically a
rebase). “Replaying” doesn’t seem relevant in this context, but that’s
just based on my layman conceptualization of how git-merge works.

“will replay the changes made on the” comes from b40bb374a61
(Documentation: merge: add an overview, 2010-01-23), which expanded the
first paragraph of Description and added the two examples.
