I am pretty mouse-averse, and I find a nice solution to these sorts of
interactive-selection problems is to use your editor. In its most basic
form, something like:
git log --oneline >tmp
$EDITOR tmp ;# and delete everything you don't want
git cherry-pick `cat tmp`
assuming you are proficient with your editor, finding the entry you want
and deleting all of the unwanted lines should be just a few keystrokes.
And you can simplify it with a script like this:
$ cat `which vpipe`
#!/bin/sh
trap 'rm -f $tmp' 0
tmp=`mktemp vpipe-XXXXXX` &&
cat >$tmp &&
${EDITOR:-vi} $tmp </dev/tty >/dev/tty &&
cat $tmp
which you can then use like:
git cherry-pick `git log | vpipe`
I know that sort of thing is not for everyone (you have to really like
your editor), but I thought I'd share in case it is useful.
