cherry picking without subversion

My final goal is that I can do the idea of 'cherry picking' also with
the version control system I am forced to use at my workplace - vss. I
have cygwin installed, so I have all the gnu tools like diff, diff3
etc.

As far as I understand, many svn diff/merge/update operations can also
be done using these gnu tools. E.g. "svn update myfile" is the same as
getting the base and the head revision of myfile and then do "diff3
myfile base head".

Now I am asking myself what I have to do to mimic "svn merge". Anyone?

Anyway, I don't understand if svn merge has 3 or 4 input files.

trunk --- 5---...---10---11
          |
branch \---...---15
                    |
working X

Say I want to merge the changeset 11 into my working copy which's base
is 15. Now does svn merge also look at the common anchestor 5?
