Yes!  Of course!  If what you want becomes possible, I could make an 
evil change in history long gone, and slip it by you. You could not 
even see the history which changed.

I would see the grafts file being changed, which would alert me (the 
problem I have with graft is that it *replaces* history information for 
an element, not just *add* to it, which threw me off at my first attempt 
at creating one).

The thing is: it is too easy to overlook a tiny change like this.  And it 
is very, very difficult to see what it _really_ changed.

Therefore I am _strongly_ opposed to changing the current behaviour.

You can do that already.  But you have to ask the people at the other 
end to actually apply the graft.

Last time I tried, git would not add files that was in the ".git" 
subdirectory to version control. I might have done something 
incorrectly, though, so I'll see if it works now.

Well, I was not explicit enough.  You can check in the grafts file _under 
a different name_.  Outside of .git/.

Hth,
