The advice to run 'git replace --convert-graft-file' added in f9f99b3f7d ("Deprecate support for .git/info/grafts", 2018-04-29) didn't add an exception for the 'git replace --convert-graft-file' codepath itself. As a result we'd suggest running --convert-graft-file while the user was running --convert-graft-file, which makes no sense. Before: $ git replace --convert-graft-file hint: Support for <GIT_DIR>/info/grafts is deprecated hint: and will be removed in a future Git version. hint: hint: Please use "git replace --convert-graft-file" hint: to convert the grafts into replace refs. hint: hint: Turn this message off by running hint: "git config advice.graftFileDeprecated false" Add a check for that case and skip printing the advice while the user is busy following our advice.
