Hey there, I recently started dabbling with commit-graph. Accidentally, my first use-case was a local copy of a big repository (chromium source) that another developer had cloned shallow (I wasn't even aware of their clone being shallow at that point). After spending a little time trying to figure out why no commit-graph file was being created, I noticed that it worked just fine testing in a fresh git repo. Then I discovered the .git/shallow file in the big repo. So I did fetch --unshallow, and commit-graph started working. Taking a 20 second log --graph operation down to less than a second (wooo!). I saw some recent release notes that mentions that commit-graph is disabled in incompatible repositories (graft, replace). I assume this also be the case for shallow clones. Here's the idea that may help others on the same path: Some warning output when attempting to use commit-graph when it is disabled (either by configuration or automatically). I think others that come across commit-graph may have tried such tricks (like shallow clones) to better work with their repositories, and it could be frustrating that commit-graph has no apparent effect. Apologies if this is a stupid/bad/old idea!
