12DESCRIPTION
13-----------
81ae43cd
SE
14The changeset (or "diff") of each commit between the fork-point and <head>
15is compared against each commit between the fork-point and <upstream>.
16
17Every commit with a changeset that doesn't exist in the other branch
18has its id (sha1) reported, prefixed by a symbol. Those existing only
19in the <upstream> branch are prefixed with a minus (-) sign, and those
20that only exist in the <head> branch are prefixed with a plus (+) symbol.
21
22Because git-cherry compares the changeset rather than the commit id
23(sha1), you can use git-cherry to find out if a commit you made locally
24has been applied <upstream> under a different commit id. For example,
25this will happen if you're feeding patches <upstream> via email rather
26than pushing or pulling commits directly.
