Partial merge (or maybe cherry picking)?

Hi, Group,

I don't know if "partial merge" is the right term to describe my  
problem.  I have a project, say with source files a.c, b.c and c.c,  
and I branched out to try some new features, mostly modifying a.c and  
b.c.  So I have the default branch and the feature branch (named  
branch in the repo).  At some point, I found a bug in c.c,say at  
revision 10, and fixed it.  Now I'd like the default branch to have  
the fixed c.c too.  Is there an easy way to do that?  I don't want to  
merge the two branches, because a.c and b.c are significantly  
different between the two branches.  I guess I could do an update and  
a revert in the default branch, but is there anything else I can do?

Thanks,
Frank
