When using a workflow with a default commit message template/header,
git-cherry-pick should also pick that up. Users can manually read
the header into the commit message, but this is simpler.

We are using git to manage our kernel tree and we often cherry-pick
patches from upstream and while we want to save the original commit
message, we also want to apply our default commit header to the log.
If this patch is not the ideal solution, please let me know how
I should go about this.
