"-" abbreviation is handy for "cherry-pick" like "checkout" and "merge".
It's also good for uniformity that a "-" stands as
the name of the previous branch where a branch name is
accepted and it could not mean any other things like stdin.

As "git cherry-pick -" or "git merge -" is convenient to
switch back to or merge the previous branch,
"git cherry-pick -" is abbreviation of "git cherry-pick @{-1}"
to pick up a commit from the previous branch conveniently.
