The upstream branch <upstream> now defaults to the first tracked remote branch, which is set by the configuration variables branch.<name>.remote and branch.<name>.merge of the current branch. Without such a remote branch, the command "git cherry [-v]" fails with usage output as before and an additional message.

NAME

|
|
git-cherry - Find commits not merged upstream
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git cherry' [-v] [<upstream>] [<head>] [<limit>]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
The changeset (or "diff") of each commit between the fork-point and <head>
|
|
is compared against each commit between the fork-point and <upstream>.
|
|
The commits are compared with their 'patch id', obtained from
|
|
the 'git-patch-id' program.
|
|
|
|
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, and those
|
|
that only exist in the <head> branch are prefixed with a plus (+) symbol:
|
|
|
|
__*__*__*__*__> <upstream>
|
|
/
|
|
fork-point
|
|
\__+__+__-__+__+__-__+__> <head>
|
|
|
|
|
|
If a <limit> has been given then the commits along the <head> branch up
|
|
to and including <limit> are not reported:
|
|
|
|
__*__*__*__*__> <upstream>
|
|
/
|
|
fork-point
|
|
\__*__*__<limit>__-__+__> <head>
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
