Re: How to pull only a few files from one branch to another?

You don't pull in a few files, you apply the changes made in a few 
commits:

  git diff HEX_OF_NIT_FIX^ HEX_OF_NIT_FIX | git apply

If there's other stuff in the nit-fixing commit, shame on you, but you can 
edit the patch before applying it to remove everything that's not what you 
want.

Or just:

	git cherry-pick HEX_OF_NIT_FIX

possibly followed by tweaking the result and running:

	git commit --amend
