Candidates could find this entry among advanced Git interview questions commonly. Cherry-pick uses a diff for finding out the difference between branches. With the merge commit for a different branch, it has two changesets and two parents. For instance, if you have merge commit ref 64cv89d, you have to specify -m and use parent 1 as a base as follows –
git checkout release-branch
git cherry-pick -m 1 64cv89d
