@danielbayerlein You are welcome.
Btw. Noticed your project https://github.com/danielbayerlein/git-pick. I've create a tool called backport: https://github.com/sqren/backport
Looks like we are doing something similar :D
I would also check the length first. if it is zero return. no need to proceed further.
