I can give you two options:

• Interactive rebase (git rebase -i) presents you a list of commits, editing this list will change the result of the operation; lets you reorder, delete or tag these commits for miscellaneous operations. In your case, you can rebase [*]'s branch into [_]'s and delete the lines unwanted commits.

• Cherrypick lets you apply the changes of a single commit into another branch. In your case, you can simply cherrypick commit [*] into [_]'s branch.
