When cherry-picking a (presumably trivial) commit that has only the one-line summary (and no further text), cherry-pick -x appends it's message directly to the one-line summary. Thereby creating a commit which has a two-line summary. Aside from that, even with a non-trivial commit the generated note "(cherry picked from commit 555c9864971744abb558796aea28e12a1ac20839)" seems abrupt when appended directly. I'd suggest: "\n[cherry-picked from commit 555c9864971744abb558796aea28e12a1ac20839]" or even better: "\n[cherry-picked from commit 555c986]" I'll turn this into an actual patch if there's a chance of it being incorporated. - Eric -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
