git cherry-pick says “…38c74d is a merge but no -m option was given”
I made some changes in my master branch and want to bring those upstream. when I cherry-pick the following commits however I get stuck on fd9f578 where git says: $ git cherry-pick fd9f578 fatal: Commit fd9f57850f6b94b7906e5bbe51a0d75bf638c74d is a merge but no -m option was given.
