Make sure to use ``git cherry-pick -x`` when cherry-picking the commits
|
||||||
|
from the main branch. This adds the "cherry picked from commit ..." line
|

to the commit message, to allow the release maintainters to mark those

as backported, which in turn allows the tools to correctly report any
|

|
future ``Fixes:`` affecting the commits you backported.
