It's useful if you have a list of things you want to MFC for playing them onto the stable branch so you can test before committing to svn stable. It shows the big issues with moving to git as the source of truth, though. We have way too much traffic in the repo to have git cherry to produce any kind of reasonable output (too many changes, can't restrict to a subset of the tree, no way to check prior commits to files affected, etc), and the git cherry-pick command relies a bit too much on the merge magic, so it doesn't record merges (there is no merge-info in git). However, I could dust off the tool and fix up the rough edges if there's any interest at all. Kyle Evans used it to MFC my crazy src/stand stuff... Warner
