    No, you wouldn't use "hg pull" nor "git pull" but rather "git
    cherry-pick" or what Mercurial calls "transplant" (I've not used this
    in Mercurial, but I believe it's an extension).

hg transplant has been deprecated for a long time now. The correct
command for cherry-picking is hg graft.

I do sometimes miss the ability to easily cherry-pick the changes in a
single file. When grafting, you graft the entire revision, and then need
to revert individual files and amend the changeset if you don't want the
graft as-is. It's a bit messy, and could cause problems if you later do
a merge that includes the originally-grafted changeset on top of the
amended changeset (since the changes committed to the amended changeset
will be considered during the merge).

Surely a lot of the hassle with version control systems could be avoided if people were to write bug free code in the first place? :)
