No, cherrypicking would be if you have manifests A, B, and C, and you
apply diff(A, B) to C.  "I want that fix over there, please."

Cherrypicking would solve this task, too. Actually I tried to apply one changeset (manifest diff) from one head on a different head.

So I wanted to apply diff(A,B) to C, that C is also a descendant of A is a special case here. This special case might cause different "correct" ancestry graphs though.

Is there any more decent way to accomplish this?


Not at the moment.  It's an obvious hole in the UI that you can't
pass 'merge' two manifest ids and have it merge just those two.

Should I file a bug?
