  The two branches to merge are in master and src/master.  Then, I

  write:

  So, why does the first cherry pick command fail, but the split
  command works?  I use git 1.9.1.


How are the two commits related? Do they form a commit range?


  Yes, they are consecutive commits in one of the branches. But I don't see why 
they must.  It should work in any case.


The command doesn't take a list of commits, rather you need to look at the 
gitrevisions guide and git-rev-list as decribed on the git cherry-pick man 
page. 



  The gitrevisions guide suggests that giving A B means to, well, apply A and 
B.  I cannot see any text saying that a list of commits is forbidden.  Besides, 
git's error message is opaque to me. 

  -- 

if you look in the Specifying Ranges section, you'll see that the 'list' is a 
way of specifiying a range by including and excluding your various commits in 
the list.

That said, I haven't looked at the part wher you get the error: a cherry-pick 
or revert is already in progress to see why that is.

I understood the implicit --no-walk that in my case, no range is specified.

Ah. I hadn't followed that part (--no-walk ) through. Looks like a bit more 
thought is needed.

Do you have a simple reproduction case?
