Description

### Description

I would like to have a new option in configuration of git support in NetBeans IDE: There would be another check-box in menu Tools / Options / Team / Versioning / Git which would switch-on "-x" option for "git cherry-pick" command.

See https://git-scm.com/docs/git-cherry-pick#Documentation/git-cherry-pick.txt--x

### Use case/motivation

"-x" option appends a line that says "(cherry picked from commit …​)".

Research direction

Start from NetBeans Git support under Tools / Options / Team / Versioning / Git and the git cherry-pick action. Trace how cherry-pick options are configured and passed to the command. Done means a new checkbox controls the -x option and cherry-pick adds the requested provenance line when enabled.
