Subject: Tracking cherry picks
Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2011 10:21:32 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4EA02E6C.2040608@cfl.rr.com> (raw)
I need to maintain a few stable release branches in addition to the
master branch. Sometimes a bug is found and the fix needs applied to
multiple branches. I would like to be able to list what branches the
fix has been applied to to validate that it went in everywhere it was
needed, but after cherry-picking the fix from master to the stable
branches, the SHA1 of the commit is different, and so git branch
--contains does not think the commit was applied to each of the stable
branches.
Is there a way around this? Why doesn't git-cherrypick record the
original SHA1 it was picked from in the commit?
