When is merge -r cherry-picking?

[Eli Zaretskii]

I'm confused about when "bzr merge -r" is cherry-picking and when it
isn't.  On the one hand, the docs of merge says:

  When merging a branch, by default the tip will be merged. To pick a
  different revision, pass -–revision. If you specify two values, the
  first will be used as BASE and the second one as OTHER. Merging
  individual revisions, or a subset of available revisions, like this is
  commonly referred to as “cherrypicking”.

which seems to imply that whenever --revision is used the merge
becomes cherrypicking.  OTOH, it keeps silent about the use-case where
the argument to --revision specifies less than 2 values, and one of
the examples says:

  To merge changes up to and including revision 82 from bzr.dev:

  bzr merge -r 82 ../bzr.dev

which seems to imply that "bzr merge -r 82" is a real merge, not
cherrypicking.

Can someone please shed some light on this?

TIA
