Subject: cherry-pick -x formats the message incorrectly
Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2010 09:14:15 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20101116T100730-967@post.gmane.org> (raw)

Hello,

I have a problem with the commit message format for "cherry-pick -x":
Given a commit with the message:

  foo

, i.e. with only a summary part, I do "git cherry-pick -x the_commit". The
result is a new commit with message

  foo
  (cherry picked from commit eb42a6475d2c2e4fff7a1b626ce6e27eec21e886)

Now that's not good, because it is a two-line summary. In my opinion, the
parentheses should _always_ end up in the detailed part.
It should be:

  foo
  
  (cherry picked from commit eb42a6475d2c2e4fff7a1b626ce6e27eec21e886)

Am I right?
