In that case, I will stick to extending git fsck to check grafts more rigorously and fix git clone to *refrain* from looking at grafts. If anyone still wants the extended format, I'd be willing to implement it, but my immediate itch for it is gone. -- Sincerely, Stephen R. van den Berg. You are confused; but this is your normal state.
