My bad on this point: there *is* a GIT_GRAFT_FILE envvar, it is just undocumented. In fact it is not the only one:

git.git$ for v in $(git grep define.*_ENVIRONMENT master -- cache.h | cut -d'"' -f2|grep ^GIT_); do git grep -q $v master -- Documentation || echo "missing $v"; done missing GIT_GRAFT_FILE missing GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS
