In the longer term, we would rather deprecate -x from cherry-pick, so that
we won't contaminate the commit log message.  So in that sense, I would
give a mildly negative response to this patch.

We might instead want to add a hook that is called from cherry-pick (and
rebase will get a similar one) immediately after the command creates a new
commit out of another commit, so that people can record the correspondence
in notes namespace if they choose to.
