Dear List,
I have a question/misunderstanding about 'git cherry'. The scenario is
the following:
I have two repositories (two forks of the same parent repo): A and B. I
created a commit in A, then pulled B to A and finally made an other
commit in A. This resulted the following commits:
-----
commit f6afabb0a734843d5d122b612f0701d27b178e42
Author: akostajti <akos.tajti@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Mon Feb 13 15:59:51 2012 +0100
modified a
commit 4ec4d59f632b93456890db139125419d16a10807
Merge: a73e884 2a483e8
Author: akostajti <akos.tajti@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Mon Feb 13 15:59:34 2012 +0100
Merge branch 'master' of http://localhost:3180/git/first-60-project
commit a73e884d2dadf29898c2d6b665ed79d352422d26
Author: akostajti <akos.tajti@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Mon Feb 13 15:58:48 2012 +0100

Now If I fetch B to A and run 'git cherry FETCH_HEAD master' I get only
two changeset ids:
+ a73e884d2dadf29898c2d6b665ed79d352422d26
+ f6afabb0a734843d5d122b612f0701d27b178e42
However, the manual of git cherry says:
"*Every* commit that doesn’t exist in the <upstream> branch has its id
(sha1) reported, prefixed by a symbol. The ones that have equivalent
change already in the <upstream> branch are prefixed with a minus (-) sign"
In my understanding this means that the merge commit
(4ec4d59f632b93456890db139125419d16a10807) should be also listed by
cherry, because it doesn't exist in the upstream. Am I doing something
wrong? How can I ge git cherry work as I expect?
Thanks in advance,
Ákos Tajti
