Speaking of which, I *know* you sent me a patch to apply to incorporate the
one difference, but is there a more automatic way of cherry-picking
git-cvsimport.perl from "next" into a new topic branch of mine?

For example, I can do this:

$ git-checkout next
$ cp git-cvsimport.perl DUMMY
$ git-checkout -b my-playground
$ mv DUMMY git-cvsimport.perl
$ git-commit -a -m 'trying that other version'

But this wastes a commit.  Is there any way to get an index that simply
includes the file from that other branch?
