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That way, if I then upgrade to a newer version of the software it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.
