"graft" ?


used by mercurial for our `merge --cherrypick'. I believe it is desirable to avoid as far as possible names clashes where the functionality behind
the command is completely different since it complicates both migration
between different systems as well as concurrent usage in my view. dito for
`transplant'.


"splice" ?

wouldn't be a good "visulisation" of what is going on in my understanding or rather, the emphasis here seems to be on "cut and paste" rather than "paste" alone.


(FWIW, "graft" seems a weird verb to use in the context of merging. But I
can see you point.)

depends on the POV, I'd say. if you sink of a single checkin as a sort

OMG... "think", not "sink". despite me being from germany.

of "sprout" on the branch it seems quite OK. actually, I find it slightly more difficult to view a cherrypick of a single changeset as a special case of merge (even when ignoring the fact that it is not at all visualized as a merge in the timeline anyway). so "graft" would seem OK with me for that action in `hg'. as it would be for "retagging" a branch in `fossil' (actually my preferred choice...) were it not already used.
