Is the issue here the clock time spent between the commits, i.e., the 
possibility that someone is going to push to the specific branches in between 
or the date/time that the commit itself displays?  Because if it's specifically 
commit time that's at issue, I believe `git cherry-pick` preserves the original 
commit time from the original commit, which should make that a non-issue.  Even 
if you need to fix up a commit to get the cherry-pick to apply, you can always 
`git commit -C <ref-of-cherry-pick>` to preserve the authorship/commit time for 
the commit in question.
