[Question] info/grafts file.

Greetings,

A simple question to clarify something in the repository.

What level of support is to be expected for the .git/info/grafts file?
I added a grafts file to a repository imported from SVN.  However, when
I cloned the repository using git clone -l -s I did not end up with a
grafts file in the cloned repository.

Cheers,
Carl

  Hello,

Dear diary, on Mon, Nov 14, 2005 at 07:20:19PM CET, I got a letter
where Carl Baldwin [off-list ref] said that...

  grafts are meant to be a purely local thing, private to your current
repository so that you can extend it in certain way. If you want
something public and official, that's what the "parent" lines in the
commit objects are - so you are really better off just rewriting the
history.
