As far as I'm aware, git can only cherry-pick specific patches easily. With Darcs, I can easily say (throughout the command set): "please deal only with patches that included RT#1234" in the name. With git, it seems the equivalent is to use a notably more complex workflow involving a branch named "rt-1234". Correct me if I'm wrong, but git has no reasonable way to pull all the patches that match a given regex for the patch name. Further, darcs would also pull all explicit dependencies, and any additional dependencies I've marked with "--ask-depends". Git seems to lack this notion. Perhaps Git is just so incredibly unfriendly to use that that it's not clear now to do these things, but it certainly appears that git is missing so me interesting features which darcs has.
