From elsewhere in this thread[1], 'The "git cherry-pick" ... "-x" flag adds
a note to the commit comment describing the relationship between the commits.'

If the commit on the main branch had this message
=================
added a line on the main branch
=================
The commit on the cherry picked branch will have this comment
=================
added a line on the main branch
(cherry picked from commit 189ef03b4f4ed5078328f7965c7bfecce318490d)
=================
