Subject: How to pull only a few files from one branch to another?
Message-ID: <17846.53626.895660.762096@lisa.zopyra.com>

I have a long-running topic branch.  I have fixed a few nits on
the master branch that I would like on the topic branch.  How do I
pull in only a few files from the head of the master branch?

I tried all sorts of incantations (I am running 1.5.0-rc2), including:

git pull . origin foo.cc
git pull origin foo.cc
git pull foo.cc master
git pull . master foo.cc
git pull master foo.cc
