Excluding commits previously cherry-picked.

I'm trying to use git deps to optimize the backported work that I'm doing, and due to the massive size of the repo, if I don't exclude things that have already been backported it is impossible to glean any data. However, it appears that git deps "-e" only works if that exact commit is in the branch you're excluding, not if there is already a cherry-pick of that commit in the branch.

Does that make sense?

Please let me know if this functionality does exist and I'm just missing it.

Very cool piece of software and I'm hoping I'll be able to use it :)

Start by reading the git deps "-e" behavior and how it matches commits in an excluded branch, then compare that with the issue's cherry-picked-commit case. Done means previously cherry-picked commits are excluded as intended, while existing exclusion behavior remains correct; the payload names no files or tests to run.
