On: Commits are snapshots not diffs (2020)

[wazari972]

what about "git cherry-pick <commit>"?

with this command you don't import a snapshot, but only the diff between <commit~>..<commit>, so the model parent+diff makes sense to me

[skj → wazari972]

Some commits cannot be cherry picked. This is because there is no coherent diff for them, like with merge commits.
