Erroneous cherry-pick through UI

[Eyal Edri]

David,

do you know if gerrit has config option to control what will appear in the
auto-complete dropdown list when choosing a branch to pick?
its either a bug in gerrit, which shouldn't cherry pick into refs/tags or
he can't handle tag == branch name.

Yevgeny,
can you try opening a bug on it? [1]
also, you might want to look in the change log [2] since we are not running
the latest version.

[2] we are using 2.10.3.1. latest is
