Few questions about "cherry-pick" feature [message #1697124]

Nice to see everybody.

I met few problems when I use EGit to handle my project.
1) After a commit be cherry-pick, EGit cannot append the line "(cherry picked from commit ...)" to indicate which commit this change was cherry-picked from.
It should be support by git, with the following command
git cherry-pick -x
Is any possible to support this feature??

2) I saw the EGit 3.5 release note, it say the cherry-picking multiple commits is be supported. But actually, I cannot find this feature in EGit 3.7.1 (&3.7).
Am I miss something? Or this feature is only supported in 3.5??

Thanks.

1) JGit's CherryPickCommand doesn't yet support the option -x, feel free to file an enhancement bug.
Contributions welcome Wink

2) the 3.5 implementation for cherry-picking multiple commits was using rebase mechanics to implement this.
It turned out that this implementation has some serious problems and we didn't find a good
way to fix these problems while ensuring compatibility with native git. Hence this feature was removed
later.

Wow, thanks for your reply. I got it.

I really need the option -x, because that let me easy to trace my code changed.
And I don't understand what are you mean (sorry, my English is not very well) about "feel free to file an enhancement bug", is want me to submit a bug?

Anyway, thanks for your reply and EGit. ^.^

if you want you can submit a bug with severity "enhancement" to track that you want JGit to be enhanced to support cherry-pick -x

The analogue of git cherry-pick -x is supported since JGit 6.9.0.202403050737-r

import org.eclipse.jgit.api.CherryPickCommitMessageProvider;
Git git = ...;
git.cherryPick().setCherryPickCommitMessageProvider(CherryPickCommitMessageProvider.ORIGINAL_WITH_REFERENCE);
