Updating a local mercurial copy with a specific commit from another remote site

(I'm using real examples, so it is clearer.)

I cloned an official Mercurial repository locally

hg clone https://bitbucket.org/Coin3D/soqt -r default

Now I want to update my local copy with a commit taken from a remote fork of the main project:

How can I integrate a specific commit from a remote fork (#214c74a in this example) into my local clone?

With git I would add the remote fork, then I would use "fetch" on that and then I would use "cherry-pick" to get the specific commit.

Is that possible at all in Mercurial?

Thanks a lot!

of course. In exactly that way. You don't even need to add any remote site, just pull that commit into your repo and be done. – planetmaker Jan 23 '18 at 20:43
If you need a cherry pick, `hg graft` is the command. – Mark Tolonen Jan 23 '18 at 21:24
