Hi,

I saw that I can run git log with '--cherry-pick'. With this, if I run "git log --cherry-pick branch_a..branch_b", it doesn't show differences that are caused by cherry picks.

My question is: sometimes, cherry picking from branch_a to branch_b is not immediate, and I need to adapt the patch that was committed on branch_a to apply on branch_b. In other cases, git is able to apply the patch on branch_b automatically (e.g. if there's only a line offset). In such cases, will "git log --cherry-pick" ignore these cherry-picks like it ignores cherry-picks that were applied without any problem?

Thanks, Erez
