    gclient_scm: Use cherry-picking instead of rebasing. · fb78b368
    Edward Lemur authored
    Currently gclient might include extra commits when applying patches.
    For example, in this case we checkout |patch| and rebase it on top of |base|,
    thus including an |extra commit| that we shouldn't.
    
    o master
    |
    . o patch
    |/
    o extra commit
    |
    o base (what gclient synced src at)
    
    This change uses the merge-base between |patch| and |master| to cherry-pick only
    the changes belonging to the patch.
