Hi Tim. We're still trying to work out the right way to do this. See <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-cms-developers/0j20E9_5gOA>. As I understand, when a commit is cherry-picked into a different branch, it acquires a different hash, so there is then no easy way to work out whether the same code is in both branches (they don't share a commit history that can be compared). This makes it difficult to ensure that things are correctly ported forward or backwards when required. On the other hand, merging (which does preserve hashes/history) is an all-or-nothing process, so not always suitable. I'd love to know a way out of this dilemma.
