It's been pointed out to me that determining whether a commit is present
in a stable branch is non-trivial (cherry-picks are a pain to search for)
and the commands are hard to remember, making it too much to ask.
This script aims to solve that problem; at its simplest form, it only
takes a commit and a branch and tells the user whether that commit
predates the branch, was cherry-picked to it, or is not present in any
form in the branch.
