Introduce `path.grafts.absolute` and `path.grafts.relative` keys to
`git repo info`. This allows scripting layers to query the active grafts
context cleanly while scaling transparently with active `GIT_GRAFT_FILE`
environment variable overrides.

I ran `git repo info path.grafts.relative` in a repository with no
`grafts` file, and it returned `.git/info/grafts`, which obviously
doesn't exist.

Wouldn't it be better if we check if that file exists before
returning this value?

That is an interesting question, but I think it depends on who is
querying and for what purpose.

If a script is asking where to write the file, then the author wants
to know where the file is supposed to be, even if no such file
exists yet.  Since the file format is public, they are free to write
their own tools to manipulate it.

Thanks.

That's tough.
I think I align with Junio here.

I just used rev-parse as my compass to work on this command.
Just to clarify
Should I send a v3 changing something?
