Is there a configuration option to make cherry-pick always include the
source commit hash in the new commit log message?

Not currently, but before we go any further, could you please justify
in what workflow it would make sense to use -x most of the time?

We used to add the "cherry-picked from" by default in the very early
days, and stopped doing so for a reason, and also deliberately stayed
away from adding such a configuration to actively discourage the use
of -x without making the user thinking twice.

Could you elaborate on the reason why -x is a bad idea?

Kind regards,
