Subject: Error in git-cherry-pick manpage?

Hi,
I try to use git cherry-pick to combine multiple commits but I'm confused
about the second sentence of the description:
"Given one existing commit, apply the change the patch introduces, and
record a new commit that records it. This requires your working tree to be
clean (no modifications from the HEAD commit)."
I intent to use it as follows:
git cherry-pick -x --no-commit 2e855ae
git cherry-pick -x --no-commit 0c1151
...
After the first invocation my working tree will not be clean but contain
changes in the index.
Does this mean that's a wrong usage of cherry-pick?
Jens
