Those existing only +in the <upstream> branch are prefixed with a minus (-) sign, and those +that only exist in the <head> branch are prefixed with a plus (+) symbol. + +Because git-cherry compares the changeset rather than the commit id +(sha1), you can use git-cherry to find out if a commit you made locally +has been applied <upstream> under a different commit id. For example, +this will happen if you're feeding patches <upstream> via email rather +than pushing or pulling commits directly. + OPTIONS ------- |
