When cherry-pick was written (v0.99.6~63, 2005-08-27), “git commit” was quiet, and the output from cherry-pick provided useful information about the progress of a rebase. Now next to the output from “git commit”, the cherry-pick notification is so much noise (except for the name of the picked commit). $ git cherry-pick ..topic Finished cherry-pick of 499088b. [detached HEAD 17e1ff2] Move glob module to libdpkg Author: Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org> 8 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) rename {src => lib/dpkg}/glob.c (98%) rename {src => lib/dpkg}/glob.h (93%) Finished cherry-pick of ae947e1. [detached HEAD 058caa3] libdpkg: Add missing symbols to Versions script Author: Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org> 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) $ The noise is especially troublesome when sifting through the output of a rebase or multiple cherry-pick that eventually failed. With the commit subject, it is already not hard to figure out where the commit came from. So drop the “Finished” message.

GIT - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
