I think this script at the end should end up in the documentation or a
contrib script (probably the former, as it is short enough that somebody
might just cut-and-paste).
The graft file ignores comments and blank lines, so maybe "grep '^[^#]'"
would be in order.
And maybe it's just me, but I think spacing it like:
grep '^[^#]' .git/info/grafts |
while read line; do
git replace --graft $line
done
is more readable (I think some would even argue for putting the "do" on
a separate line).

I guess the checks here are sufficient to make...

...this number-based parsing safe, though it would miss removing a stray
parent line elsewhere in the commit. It still feels rather magical to
me, as we are depending on unspoken format guarantees defined inside
parse_commit_buffer. I'd prefer something like the line-based parser I
showed in the other thread, but I suppose it may just be a matter of
preference.
