Probably yes. I happen to only use grafts in shallow clones ;-).

I get the commit without the patch:
commit c3c1cc25b27d448e9ef67b265a11be8735ff2df4 (grafted)
Author: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@xxxxxxx>
Date: Mon Aug 31 16:32:20 2015 +0200
Merge remote-tracking branch 'edward/utf-8-email-support4'
Without "-c log.showRoot=false" I get a big patch (diff of the commit
against the empty tree).
