"rm -f .git/objects/info/commit-graph" as well, no?

Just out of curiosity, how important is "--reachable"?  It only
traverses from the tips of refs and unlike fsck and repack, not from
reflog entries (or the index for that matter, but that shouldn't
make much difference as there is no _commit_ in the index).

FYI, today's 368b6599 (Merge branch 'ds/commit-graph-genno-fix' into
jch, 2021-02-01) has this stuff.
