Re: git cherry not marking commits with equivalent upstream

Excerpts from Björn Steinbrink's message of Thu Jul 01 13:41:51 -0700 2010:

pull = fetch + merge, so your history in "b" looks like this:

  2 (origin/master)
 / \
1   M (master)
 \ /
  3

So "2" is common to both branches and thus ignored by cherry.

Ok, it's unintuitive to me that 2 is not considered part of the upstream
branch just because I've merged it into mine, but that explains it.
Thanks!

However, I want to merge commits from upstream regularly and still
figure out what unmerged commits I have.  So how can I make this use
case work?  It sounds like I want to make git-cherry check against
everything upstream since the fork point, not just what I haven't
merged.  Would this be hard?
