When cherry-picking from a commit whose commit message already contains the "(cherry picked from commit ...)" line, this option will not add another one. This is useful when you are cherry-picking from a bunch of commits, some are cherry-picks and already contains the upstream hash but some do not. Use with -x.

Or are there situations where you do want multiple cherry-pick origins?
