> Git and mercurial have tools like rebase and cherry pick darcs had incredible cherry picking about ten years ago. Instead of saying "get this commit" and solve merge conflicts manually, like git does, darcs would get one patch and every other that was necessary for it. It effectively made cherry picking work as in "I want this feature from that branch" instead of "I want some code from that branch". It was glorious, other than the little detail of occasionally exponential merge times...
