Personally what i normally do is that since a merge combines 2 commits, for instance if i have merge commit C which is composed of 2 parents e.g commit A in master and commit B from the other branch getting merged, if i need to cherry pick the merge i wouldn't bother with the confusing command to cherry pick the merge commit itself but instead i would just cherry each of the parents A and B individually, this is also helpful in a situation where you only want to cherry pick commit B only in case commit A from master was already cherry-picked to the branch one is cherry picking to before the merge happened.
