All right, so we have one config variable to control the use of
serialized commit-graph feaature.  Nice.

All right, I can agree with that.

On the other hand using subcommand makes debugging harder, though not in
this case (well separated functionality that can be easily called with a
standalone command to be debugged).

I don't quite understand this.  Could you explain it in more detail?

Shouldn't we use `core.commitGraph` here?

Minor nitpick and a sidenote: I wonder if it wouldn't be better to
either use hexadecimal constants, or use (1 << n) for all ERROR_*
preprocesor constants.

I see that NULL at index 2 and 3 (at 3rd and 4th place) are here for
"--object-dir" and <alternates-object-dir-path>, the last one is
terminator for that case, but what is next to last NULL (at 5th place)
for?

For performance reasons it may be better to start those 'git
commit-graph verify' commands asynchronously earlier, so that they can
run in parallel / concurrently wth other checks, and wait for them and
get their error code at the end of git-fsck run.

But that is probably better left for a separate commit.

All right; though the same caveats apply as with previous commit in
series.  Perhaps it would be better to truncate commit-graph file, or
corrupt it in some 'random' place.
