Cherrypicking would solve this task, too. Actually I tried to apply one 
changeset (manifest diff) from one head on a different head.

So I wanted to apply diff(A,B) to C, that C is also a descendant of A is 
a special case here. This special case might cause different "correct" 
ancestry graphs though.
