Hi all,

I haven't tried bisecting precisely, but somewhere along the way git
cherry-pick -x regressed between 2.9.3 and 2.12.2.

Looking at upstream linux.git, I can do:

git fetch git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/helgaas/pci.git next
git cherry-pick -x 7b309aef0463340d3ad5449d1f605d14e10a4225

And see the following ending to the new commit:

Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <[email-masked]>(cherry picked from commit 7b309aef0463340d3ad5449d1f605d14e10a4225)

On 2.9.3, this worked fine:

Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <[email-masked]>
(cherry picked from commit 7b309aef0463340d3ad5449d1f605d14e10a4225)

This issue doesn't happen on all commits; maybe it's bad parsing looking
at 'Signed-off' and the like?

Regards,
Brian
