From f95ebf74296077d5fdccaa2668edc527841db521 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Fri, 4 Jul 2008 16:19:52 +0100 Subject: Allow cherry-picking root commits A root commit couldn't be cherry-picked. But its semantics can be defined as simply merging two trees by overlaying disjoint parts and merging overlapping files without any common ancestor. You should be able to rebase originally independent branches on top of another branch by using this.
