Commits created with "git cherry-pick" are considered equivalent with
the original for Git with regard to merge histories.  Whatever Git
itself does for checking them in that manner should likely be part of
the manual procedures for "merging back to master", possibly by using
only commits mentioned in "git log --cherry-pick ...".

That way, we need not rely on manual additions to the commit message.
