From: Jari Aalto Date: Thu, 02 Dec 2010 12:28:48 GMT Subject: [PATCH v2] git-cherry.txt: Change symbol marks in graph. Message-ID: <8762vcs6in.fsf_-_@picasso.cante.net> In-Reply-To: <4CF7543B.6060900@drmicha.warpmail.net> The common commit were marked with a minus sign (-), but that is usually interpreted as something less or substracted. Use natural equal sign (=). Commits that are not in upstream were marked with plus sign (+) but a question mark (?) is visually a litle more striking (erect) in context where all other signs are "flat". It also helps visually impared to see difference between (= ... ?).
