Hm... interesting...
I'm pretty sure that the "past" changed at least once - at least I once
got loud complaints from git about being unable to merge because there
is no common anchestor, or something like that.
I seem the remember that I fixed that manually, and only switched to
using git-cherry when it happened again - but that memory could be wrong...
For reference, here is the script I use for fetching changesets ATM
--------------------------
#Checkout pgsql-head.
git-checkout pgsql-head 2>&1 || exit 1
#Pull the latest changesets
git-fetch pgsql-upstream-git 2>&1 || exit 1
#Now find all unapplied commits from upstream,
#and commit them
set -o pipefail
nice git-cherry \ pgsql-head \ pgsql-upstream-git/master \
pgsql-upstream-git-lastmerged\ | sed -n 's/^\+ \([A-Fa-f0-9][A-Fa-f0-9]*\)$/\1/p' \ | xargs -n1
--no-run-if-empty\ git-cherry-pick \ 2>&1 \ || exit 1
#Now, update pgsql-upstream-git-lastmerged
git tag -f pgsql-upstream-git-lastmerged pgsql-upstream-git/master \ || exit 1
--------------------------
