+--cherry-pick::
+
+ Omit any commit that introduces the same change as
+ another commit on the "other side" when the set of
+ commits are limited with symmetric difference.
++
+For example, if you have two branches, `A` and `B`, a usual way
+to list all commits on only one side of them is with
+`--left-right`, like the example above in the description of
+that option. It however shows the commits that were cherry-picked
+from the other branch (for example, "3rd on b" may be cherry-picked
+from branch A). With this option, such pairs of commits are
+excluded from the output.
