So, git revert already includes the "origin" of the commit in the commit message, and I think that is fine for most people. What about adding an option to cherry-pick to add a similar "commit 7b27718bdb1b70166383dec91391df5534d449ee upstream" or similar string to the commit message? As far as I see the kernel -stable tree already have this, but it is added manually and in many different forms, like: [ Upstream commit 5f3a9a207f1fccde476dd31b4c63ead2967d934f ] commit 7b27718bdb1b70166383dec91391df5534d449ee upstream Already in Linus' tree: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=b25b791b13aaa336b56c4f9bd417ff126363f80b etc. Once git would provide a standard way to do this, that could be used to avoid this.
