Sounds like you're duplicating work? "git rebase -i master" does pretty much that: starting from master, cherry picks all the commits (in order by default but because you're doing -i you can reorder them, likewise you can omit or amend) and then changes the ref of the branch you were working on to point at the resulting tip commit. I don't think you need to explicitly check out a new branch and then cherry pick.
