git-cherry: document limit and add diagram
This patch adds the diagram from the long usage string of git-cherry to its documentation, and documents the third option. I changed some of the + to - in order to save the reader from wondering where they might fit into the picture.

SYNOPSIS
|
||||
--------
|
||||
'git-cherry' [-v] <upstream> [<head>]
|
||||
'git-cherry' [-v] <upstream> [<head>] [<limit>]

DESCRIPTION
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
@ -18,7 +18,22 @@ Every commit that doesn't exist in the <upstream> branch
|
|||
has its id (sha1) reported, prefixed by a symbol. The ones that have
|
||||
equivalent change already
|
||||
in the <upstream> branch are prefixed with a minus (-) sign, and those
|
||||
that only exist in the <head> branch are prefixed with a plus (+) symbol.
|

that only exist in the <head> branch are prefixed with a plus (+) symbol:

fork-point

If a <limit> has been given then the commits along the <head> branch up
|
||||
to and including <limit> are not reported:

fork-point

\__*__*__<limit>__-__+__> <head>
|

|

|

Because git-cherry compares the changeset rather than the commit id
|
||||
(sha1), you can use git-cherry to find out if a commit you made locally
