IMHO grafts should not be made known to a wide audience until send-pack,
pack-objects, and prune are fixed so that you cannot corrupt your repository
when there are grafts.
See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/37744
in particular http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/37866
on a sketch how to fix the issues.
