So this only allows to delete expired things and setting the latest
when writing a new graph. Would we ever envision a user to produce
a new graph (e.g. via obtaining a graph that they got from a server) and
then manually rerouting the latest to that new graph file without writing
that graph file in the same process? The same for expired.

I guess these operations are just available via editing the
latest or deleting files manually, which slightly contradicts
e.g. "git update-ref", which in olden times was just a fancy way
of rewriting the refs file manually. (though it claims to be less
prone to errors as it takes lock files)

I imagine these alternatives for placing a new, latest commit graph file would want Git to handle rewriting the "graph-latest" file. Given such a use case, we could consider extending the 'commit-graph' interface, but I don't want to plan for it now.


  extern char *get_graph_latest_filename(const char *obj_dir);
+extern char *get_graph_latest_contents(const char *obj_dir);
Did
https://public-inbox.org/git/20180208213806.GA6381@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
ever make it into tree? (It is sort of new, but I feel we'd want to
strive for consistency in the code base, eventually.)

Thank you for the reminder. I've removed the externs from 'commit-graph.h'.

Should I also remove the externs from other methods I introduce even though their surrounding definitions include 'extern'?

Thanks,
