Is it possible to merge all the changes up to a specific tagged version of another branch ?

I'd like to pull all the changes up to 2.6.15 into a branch created from 2.6.12, which has been subsequently modified. I dont yet want to pull later changes in.

on a side note, how does one pull in an individual changeset, rather than the head of an entire branch ?

This is what I tried to do, and it seems to work:

git checkout -b mywork v2.6.12
# work, work, work
git commit -a
git merge "Merging happily." mywork v2.6.15

The man pages can explain it better than I can.

Look into git-cherry and git-cherry-pick.
