No, you wouldn't use "hg pull" nor "git pull" but rather "git
cherry-pick" or what Mercurial calls "transplant" (I've not used this
in Mercurial, but I believe it's an extension).
That would apply just that patch/diff to the older version rather
than the entire history of changes between 3.{n<9} and 3.9 versions.
