The main difference is that git-cherry too often does not work right now
(I have a local patch so that it more-or-less works with my GNU
ChangeLogs, but it does not improve the situation if rerere kicks in).

(Of course git cherry could also regex out a string of hex digits longer
than 6 and see if there is a commit that matches).
