Due to the way traditional revision arguments work, the following invocations of 'git cherry-pick' are equivalent: $ git cherry-pick master..topic $ git cherry-pick topic ^master $ git cherry-pick ^master topic So the order of the arguments specified on the command-line is irrelevant in these cases. However, there are cases where it is worth paying attention to the order. For instance: $ git cherry-pick commit3 commit1 commit2 picks commits after sorting by date order, which is counter-intuitive. Add a failing test to t3508 (cherry-pick-many-commits) documenting this behavior. Reported-by: SZEDER Gábor <redacted> Signed-off-by: Ramkumar Ramachandra <redacted> --- Irrespective of how far we get with the '--literal-order' idea, I think this quirk is worth documenting. t/t3508-cherry-pick-many-commits.sh | 25 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 files changed, 25 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
