Hi,
I recently had a problem with git push honoring the grafts file. It caused
it not to push all data required for a branch to the remote repository,
rendering it impossible to clone the remote repository (missing blobs)
This was with an not so fresh git version of 1.5.4.3 (ubuntu hardy).
Has this issue been fixed in later git version? I saw a thread talking
about it a long time ago (long before my release in question) on this
mailing list, but nothing was mentioned about if it was actually solved.

Bump, anybody know of a way to avoid this? The problem even occurs on the
local machine in that git gc will cleanup stuff that isn't required due to
the grafts file, rendering the repo invalid if the graft file is removed.
I don't think running filter-branch on the git svn imported branches seems
like a good idea. since that would also wreak havoc on any repo that pulls
from mine (ie still private repo like usb stick or other dev machine).
Imho, grafts shouldn't be honored on either push/pull/gc operations.
Right.
It's a know issue. But it was nobody's itch, yet, perhaps because too few
people use grafts. There is a topic, cc/replace, in Junio's pu branch that
introduces "replacement objects"; these are a generalization of grafts. If
effort is invested, then it's best to nurse this topic.
