# Uses `git cherry-pick -x` to backport a merge commit to an older branch.
#
# Usage:
# First checkout the old-stable branch, that is the target for the backport.
# Then `git-backport-merge MERGE_REF [REFS...]`
# MERGE_REF is the merge commit that should be backported.
# [REFS...] is the commits that should be backported. If omitted,
# it automatically takes the parent commits of the merge commit.
