That would require opt-in support for every package to describe which
commits it needs, something which the vast majority of maintainers are
uninterested in and requires successively more query strings for each
branch you want to cherry-pick from.
Also shallow-exclude would exclude the tag itself, you cannot specify
"v${pkgver}~1" to shallow-exclude.
As you say, not trivial. ;) I've thought about it too...
