"+" and "-" don't match the documentation, where "+" means the patch /is/
in upstream, "-" means it isn't
The documentation was utterly wrong.  The comment at the
beginning of git-cherry.sh was better but slightly wrong.
Seriously?  In git-cherry output a "-" means that a patch is in?  Seems 
counter-intuitive to me.

Or is it meant to be analogous to a diff so "+" means "in order to make this 
branch like the comparison branch you would have to /add/ this patch"?
It's more like "This is still relevant and you need to
positively push your upstream for inclusion".
