YES, it does: $ cat info/grafts 8700854c41a40d333e90104971c3abbbcf082e57 34757f56bd7cb007bbb48ce064a2cd7e67c32428 c87c46fe892211f8aa4fd363ccff4f667a9aaf7d d560b7a27640cdf9ff1e6a30ae161dc6144618bd dd3f3c0636cfd50719c706b030db5473b0270add e6cfa744e0434f9b700cd8a3780dcf9235ed10e3 e5a60f1636cceac33777bb8098a0b7a4a136a56c b38536a9a67b8d6b94e51860195529481703286b 0ff75b3afff6fb306bef221bf1823ccf5ffc568b 01d4f94e5e5e65058234256241c01a6caf1c5feb fb5967688f7b464421cff28f266b64ad2a313a9e 00fe1cce8a053ecf9d8ba160991f28574fb11f63 2dcaaf2decd31ac9a21d616604c0a7c1fa65d5a4 $ now, showing that I am indeed essentially a git newbie, WTF is a "graft"?
