[PATCH 3/9] git-cherry: find commits not merged upstream.

From
Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
Date
Jun 25, 2005, 09:22 UTC
Message-ID
<7v3br64wp8.fsf_-_@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net>
In-Reply-To
<7vmzpe4x08.fsf_-_@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net>

The git-cherry command helps the git-rebase script by finding commits that have not been merged upstream. Commits already included in upstream are prefixed with '-' (meaning "drop from my local pull"), while commits missing from upstream are prefixed with '+' (meaning "add to the updated upstream").
