I have used Thorolastic, which is an elastomeric coating that comes in 
either knife (thick) or brush (thin) grade. I have used the brush grade 
with great success in repairing hairline shrinkage cracks and minor thermal 
stress cracks in stucco coats on masonry heaters.

I'd advise against using anything very hard and inflexible, such as 
unmodified cement, for repairing cracks.
