grafts are so common that there would be a big demand for it.

It's probably easier to wrap it than to explain to Windows users what
they have to do.

How would Windows users get a graft file in the first-place? There's no
GUI for it! ;)

Now, now... It's dead easy using the git-gui and Notepad++, you can see
and confirm the sha1's, copy and paste, and the graft file is a very
easy format, so even wimps (windows, icons, menus, pointers aka mouse)
folks can do it. (It worked for me when I needed it ;-)

I didn't mean to insult all Windows users in general.  I was only
referring to the fact that since the default Windows command line is not
a POSIX shell, even an experienced Windows user might have trouble
figuring out how to execute a shell loop.  Putting this functionality in
a git command or script, by contrast, would make it work universally, no
fuss, no muss.
