Best way to cherrypick revisions?

Hi all,

I find myself in the following situation. I have made a public release
of my software (without branching) and since then done some
development, and then fixed some bugs. I'd now like to make a branch
containing just the bugfixes.

Essentially, if I have a branch with 3 revisions, I want to be able to
create a Bazaar branch containing revisions 1 and 3 but not revision
2. And I'd like to keep the original checkin information if possible,
authors, comments etc.

Is there any easy way to do this? I can get the files OK with bzr
merge -c, but that seems to lose all the checkin information. I've
tried using bzr send also, but Bazaar doesn't seem to accept merge
directives with a "base revision" that isn't present in the target
branch.

Regards,
Geoff Bache
