Yes, create a branch: git checkout -b my_new_branch linux/master add the patch git cherry-pick SHA_to_pick And then later on after you have updated linux/master: git rebase linux/master and see if anything is still left here or not: git log linux/master..HEAD if the commit is merged, then the log will be empty. have fun! greg k-h
