Need to pull both branch data on your local drive first.

What is happening is your trying to cherry-pick from branch-a to branch-b, where in you are currently on branch-b, but the local copy of branch-a is not updated yet (you need to perform a git pull on both branches first).

steps:
- git checkout branch-a
- git pull origin branch-a
- git checkout branch-b
- git pull origin branch-b
- git cherry-pick

output:
[branch-b ] log data
