There is no way to know whether this is a bug without knowing how AAA,
BBB and ccc are related? From the names, can we assume that AAA is a
(grand)parent of BBB? If that is the case, cherry-pick is behaving as
expected.

See the DESCRIPTION in http://git-scm.com/docs/git-rev-list for further
explanation, but the short of the story is that the second argument told
it to ignore any commit before BBB, so AAA is not in the list of commits
to be applied.
