I'd also love this functionality ... 

Can basically do it with:

  # remember current branch name CHERRY_PICK_TARGET
  git checkout REV_LIST_END
  git rebase --onto CHERRY_PICK_TARGET  REV_LIST_START
  [+ git rebase --continue etc]

but man, is that confusing to remember...

I wonder if a wrapper would be robust enough.
