I never use it.

That’s actually not clear in the current PEP / devguide.

“Cherry-picking“ means “selecting some changesets for pull”, not
“selecting some diff hunks for commit”.

Not at all.  It has the same functionality as record, only in a curses
UI instead of an unusable line-based interface.

Never use them.  Clones are okay.
