Hi all,
This patch adds support for cherrypicks to annotate merge. For me, this
is enough to make annotate merge a plausible default merge algorithm.
In order to cherrypick x..y into z, it plans two merges:
merge x into z, and merge y into z. The first plan is then subtracted
from the second. That is, all common changes are deactivated, leaving
only the changes introduced by y and its ancestors until x.
This technique does not support reverse cherrypicking. I don't
currently have a theory of how weave merge could support that.
