What I really want to do is merge a couple of files from a changeset at a time. Given that GIT doesn't track files, the only sensible way to do that seems to split up the changeset (I want GIT to track the merges) and then merge (cherry pick) the split up stuff.

Is there some (reasonably simple) way to do that? What happens to remote repositories that already have the big original changeset (and possibly changes based on it)?
