Seems like a good time to do it. We'd eventually want a similar option for updating it on the receiving side of a push, too. I don't insist that come at the same time, but we should at least have a plan about how it will look to the user. Do we want to to have fetch.writeCommitGraph, receive.writeCommitGraph, and then a master transfer.writeCommitGraph? -Peff
