Adding support for copying patch to another branch.

It could be handy in a situation where I need to create a new branch for review with some patches in the current series, without leaving the main line branch. Basically, the equivalent of jj duplicate.

You may be looking for stg pick. But I guess you're also saying that you're constrained to staying on the main branch. That makes it harder in stgit's model of operation.

Since you're familiar with jj, curious why you're also using stgit? Is there a problem that stgit solves that jj doesn't?

Yes. The new branch created only to open a merge request and allow early review of a few specific patches. Ideally, if we could ignore the existence of new branches, it would be even better if a single command could spin up a review branch.

stgit treats patch as the first citizen, easy to move, reorder, disable/re-enable patches. jj's not, just like git, it's not saying that jj can't do what stgit can, but it's not as intuitive as stgit.
