Speaking of which, I *know* you sent me a patch to apply to incorporate the one difference, but is there a more automatic way of cherry-picking git-cvsimport.perl from "next" into a new topic branch of mine? For example, I can do this: $ git-checkout next $ cp git-cvsimport.perl DUMMY $ git-checkout -b my-playground $ mv DUMMY git-cvsimport.perl $ git-commit -a -m 'trying that other version' But this wastes a commit. Is there any way to get an index that simply includes the file from that other branch? -- Randal L.
