I have no trouble using Fossil's stash to do the same. Granted, I'm using
an external gui-diff tool. But wouldn't a dev using Git be using some kind
of "enhanced diff" tool, too?
$ fossil stash
$ fossil stash gdiff
Sometimes, it would be nice to specify which files to diff, but usually,
when I need to cherry pick changes, I want to review all the changes,
anyway.
Then I build and test, possibly fix, then commit. Then move on to pull out
the next set of changes.
