Research direction

Start by tracing ghstack's existing CLI command handling and the current manual cherry-pick workflow described in the issue. Determine how a PR_URL maps to its original commit, then verify the proposed command's behavior against a real pull request; done means the workflow is available as ghstack cherry-pick PR_URL.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

this is pretty easy to do by hand (just cherry-pick the orig commit) but would be nice to have some sugar
