Re: [PATCH 0/2] apply.c: a fix and an enhancement

Just teach "parse_commit()" to look at a ".git/fake_parents" file, and 
insert fake extra parents for commits that way - you can graft any tree on 
top of any other tree that way, and it's probably a nice idea for testing 
things out.

Nicely put, thanks.  That was exactly what I meant by
"grafting".

And the file would obviously be per-project, so according to
Pasky's suggestion that would be ".gitinfo/fake_parents" ;-).
