Cherry-pick with customized old SHA-1 line automatically

Question

If I cherry-pick original commit deadbeef with -x, Git would append a line like

(cherry picked from commit deadbeef)

Is there any way to customize this message? Like I prefer

Backported from: deadbeef

Maybe some custom Git alias?

Use `git cherry-pick -x --edit` while setting the `GIT_EDITOR` environment variable to the name of a script that will edit the last line in place. — torek, Nov 08 '18 at 18:11

you can always use

git commit --amend

to change your commit message.

...or automate the process via a pre-commit git hook. – Romain Valeri Nov 08 '18 at 15:20
Sorry didn't mention that I want it automated. – Franklin Yu Nov 08 '18 at 15:53
@RomainValeri Git hook looks very promising; how can I amend the message non-interactively? – Franklin Yu Nov 08 '18 at 15:56
