"Graft and then clone" will not make the copied repository Ok. You need
to propagate the graft in some other way.
However, "Graft and then filter-branch" is a way to hide and get rid of
the the broken thing in history etched in the objects. After that the
repository itself and a clone from it will not need the graft. So I'd
rather argue we should document it _differently_ (or just _better_) than
not document it.
