FR: Commit selector interface (for main view)

[vt-alt]

tig is useful to select commits for git cherry-picking. I'd suggest adding the interface so it could be more visible and easier.

tig --select=file1 would enable selection column and record selected commits in the file1. Then pressing something like + would record the commit commit in the file (in git history order) and show selection marker in selection column.

Because it's in history order git cherry-pick $(tac file1) would work. If something is missed, re-run tig --select=file1 may work to continue the selection process. Or we could update commit list file1 with dependent commits (with some external tool) and see in tig what is selected.

Add bind generic + @sh -c "git notes --ref=select add -m 'Pick Me! Pick Me!' %(commit) || git notes --ref=select remove %(commit)" to your .tigrc, start Tig with tig --notes=select, select your commits with +, use git notes --ref=select list | cut -d ' ' -f 2 to retrieve the commit list.

Thanks for the hint!
