Subject: [feature request] embed original commit info in cherry-pick
Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2011 12:30:33 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D66A3C9.7050001@genband.com> (raw)
If I cherry-pick a bugfix from a more recent version of a project, it
would be useful to have an indication somewhere in the commit
information of where it originally came from.
That way, if I then upgrade to a newer version of the software it
becomes obvious that I don't need to worry about porting that commit
forwards because it's already been handled upstream.
As it stands, it's not immediately obvious what was cherry-picked vs
what was developed locally.
