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?
