Hi,
I have several "maintainance" branches which are based on
different version of my software, which contains only fixes,
imported with 'git cherry-pick'.
I use to comparing stable branches to see if one of them is not
missing a fix for instance. For that purpose I use "git cherry"
of "git log --cherry".
But sometimes git reports me some false-positives because one fix
in a particular branch has been slighlty modified when cherry-picking
it (because the context has slighly changed between 2 versions of
my soft).
Basically I'd like to force git-cherry to assume that the
patch-id of a commit is the same as the one it's been cherry
picked from even if the diff is not exactly the same.
One way to do this would be for git-cherry to use the string
added by "git-cherry-pick -x":
(cherry picked from commit xxx)
and to handle the indirection in order to calculate the patch-id.
I couldn't find something equivalent of this with git, but maybe
I've missed an option... could anybody tell me if something
similar already exist ?
Thanks.
