Hi,

Thank you for this very good collection. I'm still wondering about
what's the best way to represent this in git (or others). Cherry-picking
is arguably the simplest variant. Maybe that can be combined with
merging to preserve merge capability. I'll try that...

Agreed and understood. However, there are good reasons for keeping merge
capability between branches intact as well. I still hope we can get both
somehow, if not, I'm certainly accepting that backward patching is more
important.
