"Reapply" is rewriting it on the other branch. The branch you are rebasing to now has a one or multiple commits that do not represent real history. Only the very last commit on the branch is actually what the user rebasing has on their computer.

Cherry picking also rewrites the commits. This is equivalent to rebasing:

git branch -f orig_head
git reset target
git cherry-pick ..orig_head
