IMHO grafts should not be made known to a wide audience until send-pack, pack-objects, and prune are fixed so that you cannot corrupt your repository when there are grafts.

See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/37744 in particular http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/37866 on a sketch how to fix the issues.
