It appears that more and more people are finding "git cherry-pick", and we
now have a number of totally inane
cherry picked from 1b16e7ac850969f38b375e511e3fa2f474a33867 commit
messages in the kernel logs, because I don't want to just re-cherry-pick
them and edit peoples logs.
Those messages not only make no grammatical sense (you'd say "commit X"
rather than "X commit"), but they have no point. The original commit is
not reachable and makes no sense any more, and that's actually likely to
always be the common case.
So could we just (a) fix the message word order to make sense and (b) make
it only happen if people explicitly ask for it, rather than by default?
Let's do (c) never show it and make -r a no-op.
