Right idea....

See below for another way....

With a pure git solution, we can get rid of backporting and switch to daggy 
fixes (http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=1595636, section 'Daggy Fixes and 
Cherry-picking', near the end). Benefits: backporting will become simply 
merging; the dag will show us exactly where a fix was made and to which 
branches it was applied.

Yawar
