It is fragile, as there is no way for the revision machinery to say "but
now I want to traverse the graph ignoring the graft file" e.g. when
pushing commits to a remote repository (which, as a consequence, can
miss commits).
And we already have a better solution with `git replace --graft <comit>
[<parent>...]`.
Changes since v2:
- Fixed tyop in the description of --graft where it suggests
--convert-graft-file instead.
- Dropped the rant from the "libify create_graft()" commit.
- Changed a die("BUG: ...") call to BUG() (instead of libifying it).
- Truly libified create_graft() by replacing every single instance where die()
(or lookup_commit_or_die()) was called with a proper error(), adding resource
handling to avoid leaks, so that that rant that was dropped from the commit
message would now truly be merited.
- Graft files with commented lines are now handled correctly.
- Graft files with empty lines are now handled correctly, too.
- The graft file parser is now based on a shiny new argv_array_split().
- The script in contrib/ whose functionality is superseded by `git replace
--convert-graft-file` was removed.
Johannes Schindelin (11):
argv_array: offer to split a string by whitespace
commit: Let the callback of for_each_mergetag return on error
replace: avoid using die() to indicate a bug
replace: "libify" create_graft() and callees
replace: introduce --convert-graft-file
Add a test for `git replace --convert-graft-file`
Deprecate support for .git/info/grafts
filter-branch: stop suggesting to use grafts
technical/shallow: describe the relationship with replace refs
technical/shallow: describe why shallow cannot use replace refs
Remove obsolete script to convert grafts to replace refs
