Say I do git log branch-A..branch-B, I get a list of commits that are in branch-B but not in branch-A. I can also get a list of commits in branch-A but not in branch-B by reversing the order.
Almost every commit into branch-A is cherry-picked into branch-B, however I noticed that git log shows commits that have been cherry-picked. In particular I notice that the commit hash of the cherry-picked commit in branch-B is different from the one that is in branch-A. Does someone know why this could happen? If so how to perform the diff so that it does not capture these false positives?
Of course.
git commit store the parent as part of the metadata calculating the SHA-1. Since the parent is different the SHA-1 will be different as well.
