Currently in qgit you can git-format-patch a commit series and git-am
a given patch file series.
This can be done transparently with a drag & drop mechanic:

1) Open the source repository
2) Then open a new qgit instance (File->Open in a new window...)
3) Open the destination repository in the new qgit window
4) Drag & drop selected commits (multi selection in supported) from
source to destination.

I normally use this instead of git-cherry-pick  that, I admit, I don't
know very well, so please I need some more hints on how to upgrade
this behaviour introducing git.cherry-pick support.
