I assumed you meant you deleted branch 'D' on the repository doing the fetching (after having fetched 'D' in the past). "You stupid git". Indeed, features I value in git very much, and use every day, thanks. [...portions of man git-cherry-pick stripped...] The origin field will *not* be created on regular cherry-picks, this *would* create garbage. The origin field is not meant to be generated when doing things with temporary branches. The origin field is meant to be filled *ONLY* when cherry-picking from one permanent branch to another permanent branch. This is a *rare* operation. Quite. I do understand that "normal cases" in your case mean cherry-picks among temporary branches. Well, you are completely right that *your* normal cases should not (and will not) generate an origin field. The origin field is intended for the *abnormal* cases, which means cherry-picking between permanent branches (which, apparently, you rarely do, if ever), this is something that (depending on your workflow) can be a more frequent event. For *those* cases, the origin field will not contain garbage. -- Sincerely, Stephen R. van den Berg.
