Tracking cherry picks

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?
