This is problematic, because it means something that isn't in GIT_DIR
affects its interpretation. I would say that that is a showstopper.
One could even argue that it's incorrect, since it would mean different
points on the history have different grafts.
Now, CVS has a reserved namespace (CVSROOT/) for things under version
control which are still significant to CVS. The logical equivalent to
git would be to have .git/ be such a namespace, if it makes sense.
