git-cherry-pick and author field in version 1.7.6.4

Hi all,

in the last stable version (1.7.6.4), when I perform a git-cherry-pick, the 
initial author of the patch is erased whith my name (it was not the case in 
version 1.7.3.4 and prior). Is this behavior intended ? Is there an option to 
keep the initial author of the patch?


Regards,
Nicolas
