The release announcement for Mercurial 2.0 mentions a new graft command, which on first sight looks similar to the transplant extension. What is the difference between these two? Does cherry picking with graft solve any problems that existed with transplant, and if so, what are these?

A transplant is an organ, tissue or a group of cells removed from one person (the donor) and transplanted into another person (the recipient) or moved from one site to another in the same person. A skin graft is a common example of a transplant from one part of a person's body to another part.
A graft is an immediate transplantation of tissue which continues to live and grow in its new environment. For a graft to be successful, the cells of the transplanted tissue must obtain nutritious lymph during the period of healing.
There are four classifications of grafts: (1) autograft (tissue removed from one site and surgically implanted into another on the same individual); (2) isograft (tissue removed from an individual and surgically grafted onto a genetically identical individual, such as an identical twin or another member of the same ...
Graft rejection involves immune reactivity of the recipient against transplanted allografts, while GVHD is triggered by the reactivity of donor-derived immune cells against allogeneic recipient tissues.
Graft uses Mercurial internal merging, while transplant relies on patch mechanism. Therefore graft should be able to handle three-way-merges better than transplant currently does.
