The commits are compared with their \fIpatch id\fR, obtained from the \fIgit patch\-id\fR program\&. .sp Every commit that doesn\(cqt exist in the branch has its id (sha1) reported, prefixed by a symbol\&. The ones that have equivalent change already in the branch are prefixed with a minus (\-) sign, and those that only exist in the branch are prefixed with a plus (+) symbol: .sp .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf __*__*__*__*__> / fork\-point \e__+__+__\-__+__+__\-__+__> .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .sp If a has been given then the commits along the branch up to and including are not reported: .sp .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf __*__*__*__*__> / fork\-point \e__*__*____\-__+__> .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .sp Because \fIgit cherry\fR compares the changeset rather than the commit id (sha1), you can use \fIgit cherry\fR to find out if a commit you made locally has been applied under a different commit id\&. For example, this will happen if you\(cqre feeding patches via email rather than pushing or pulling commits directly\&. .SH "OPTIONS" .PP \-v .RS 4 Verbose\&. .RE .PP .RS 4 Upstream branch to compare against\&.
