Thanks Nick for the outline - the main thing I take from this is that "unmerge" is used in real world revision messages, so it's important for me to test that any regexp does the right thing there.

It sounds like grafts aren't the right solution for your problem. I can't really suggest much without a better understanding of what you're trying to achieve, but you might be interested in `git cherry`, which tries to detect cherry-picked commits by comparing the diffs.
