* "git stash": is it supported?

Not in Eclipse, no.

What do you mean by this?

I mean there's no implementation of git stash.  Eclipse doesn't
support git stash, the notion of the stash, the branch the stash
is on.  Its not in the Eclipse plugin.

While I'm a total newbie to Eclipse, and not that fluent with Java, this looks 
surprising. Is it really Eclipse that is at fault here? Eclipse saves its 
workspace (whatever it means to "save a workspace") when it exits, isn't 
there an interface that you can implement that does "partial" saves, hence 
git stashes?

The fault is that it has not been implemented yet, It's not Eclipse's fault. The
plugin simply lacks support for it. You can do that with Git though. I use both
tools side by side.

* can you "copy" a commit, or even a set of commits, and
"cherry-pick" them into another branch? Or even rebase a branch onto
antoher?

Not in Eclipse, no.

Same question... What exactly is the problem with Eclipse wrt this kind
of operation?

Its also not implemented in the eclipse UI.

Eclipse has the ability to apply patches AFAIK... Even though this may not be 
equivalent to a git cherry-pick, wouldn't there be a way to extract at least 
the diffs and commit messages and apply?

Sure. Solving everything that is missing is a matter of actually coding the feature.
Unfortunately we have very little time at our disposal, which is why we welcome
contributions.
