Thanks, the whole thing looks clearly explained and the patches themselves look good. And having "--[no-]write-commit-graph" is a good thing even independent of the problem you're fixing. I wondered if it was worth having a test in the second patch, but I think it would be inherently racy. So it's probably not worth the trouble. -Peff
