I need to make some local tweaks to history to make merges go more smoothly, traditionally the tool for doing this is grafts, however git is yelling at me that grafts are deprecated and will be removed in a future release and that I should use git-replace instead. However there is something that is concerning me, https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/GraftPoint says > As of Git 1.6.5, the more flexible git replace has been added, which > allows you to replace any object with any other object, and tracks > the associations via refs which can be pushed and pulled between repos. However the git-replace man page makes no mention of push or pull. under what circumstances will replacements be pushed or pulled, and what if any steps do I need to take to ensure that my replacements stay local.
