For example, I can do this:

$ git-checkout next
$ cp git-cvsimport.perl DUMMY
$ git-checkout -b my-playground
$ mv DUMMY git-cvsimport.perl
$ git-commit -a -m 'trying that other version'

But this wastes a commit.  Is there any way to get an index that simply
includes the file from that other branch?

        $ git checkout master
        $ git checkout next git-cvsimport.perl

Yow.  How simple is *that*?  Thanks.
