git cherry-pick -x default

cherry-pick, config, git

Solution

Short of making an alias for `git cherry-pick -x`, no, this is not possible.

(Fun fact: The default was changed in commit abd6970.)

Problem

In the man page for `git cherry-pick`: ``` ... -x When recording the commit, append a line that says "(cherry picked from commit …)" to the original commit message in order to indicate which commit this change was cherry-picked from. ... -r It used to be that the command defaulted to do -x described above, and -r was to disable it. Now the default is not to do -x so this option is a no-op. ... ``` Is there a config setting to locally set the default back to `-x`, and allow `-r` to disable it? I couldn't find one, but I may have missed it.
