where Eric talks about difference between parentage in merge commit
(which is needed for good merging) and "parentage"/weak link in
cherry-picked commit; Git uses weak link = no link.

Well the patch-id is a sort of "compute on demand" link, so
it would qualify as a weak link, especially because git
manages to use it during a rebase.

I wanted to point that out but I didn't see a link to post
comments so I didn't bother.
