I learned of git cherry some days ago, but only learned of --cherry
and related options to git log today[1] (more-or-less by chance).
If the git-cherry(1) manpage had mentioned --cherry, I would have
learned of these options sooner.
This proposed log message is of an unusual style. It is curious
that somebody learn cherry first before log.

The description text talks about changeset (or diff), compares
the changeset rather than the commit id, diffs are compared,
etc., which is a hint that a lone reference to patch-id would be a
page to read about that comparison, which is a good motivation that
may entice the readers to follow that reference.
I am not sure what value the readers of this man page would see to
this addition, though. Unlike the reference to patch-id, it is not
so obvious what gives them motivation to follow this new reference
to log --cherry. A new sentence in DESCRIPTION section to mention
it (e.g. 'log --cherry' gives similar information) may be needed
at the same time.
