Description Remy Suen

If I know the SHA-1 hash of the commit, I'd like to be able to just open that commit and then cherry-pick it onto my current branch. Using the 'History' view seems tedious in comparison.

The current commit editor using icons on the toolbar for the available actions.

Do you have any ideas or suggestions for what a cherry pick icon should look like?

Some ideas:
- use something similar to the branch icon but where the branches converge
- use the repository icon with an arrow that comes out of it and points to it

Verified in 1.2.0.201112051848.

The icon is not too descriptive.
