The reason cherry-pick was chosen was to keep the branch linear and
avoid merge-commits as (I'm guessing here) this makes the tree hard to
follow.
Merge-if-necessary will not keep the branch linear. I'm not sure how
rebase-if-necessary works though.

Vijay, can you provide anymore background for the choice of
cherry-pick and you opinion on the change?
