Subject: [GSoC Patch 6/7] repo: add path.grafts with absolute and relative suffix formatting
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2026 06:51:37 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260716012138.6714-7-jayatheerthkulkarni2005@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260716012138.6714-1-jayatheerthkulkarni2005@gmail.com>
External toolchains managing specialized history rewrites or legacy
history splices require access to the location of the repository grafts
file. Currently, this requires a legacy call to `git rev-parse --git-path info/grafts`.
Introduce `path.grafts.absolute` and `path.grafts.relative` keys to
`git repo info`. This allows scripting layers to query the active grafts
context cleanly while scaling transparently with active `GIT_GRAFT_FILE`
environment variable overrides.
