+
+So how are you going to cherry-pick commits
+if you do not know their commit ID:s? Simple,
+you use Git's log tool to find their ID:s.
+
+The log will only show earlier commits in
+the branch then the currently checked out
+commit. Typing @command{git log} will show
+you the commit's ID, author, date, and
+commit message. You can limit the commits
+to a commits where specify files has been
+changed by appending those files to the
+command.
