I tend to agree as far as the semantics go.

Also at least as a short term solution at the implementation level, I am
OK with the change. But in the longer term, I have this suspicion that we
should not be rewriting commit objects themselves with these phony data,
which makes things like "git log -g --stat" and "git log --parents -g"
totally useless.

That of course is not a fault of this patch; it does not make things any
worse than the original, and that is why I say I am OK with it.

Thanks.
