 Hello everyone,

 I'm managing a git repository where I include my and my co-workers'
 work. With some co-workers I can use 'git merge' but with some I use
 'git cherry-pick'. However, cherry-picking leads to problems because a
 new commit ID is generated and I must remember which patches I have
 cherry-picked to my tree. Is there any easy way to tell which patches
 have and have not been applied?

    Thanks,
            Michal

If the patches are not too different, "git log --cherry-pick a...b" (note the three dots instead of two) shows only those patches in b that are not yet in a.

Have a look at the manpage of git-cherry, which will tell you if you already applied a commit/patch.
