I would see the grafts file being changed, which would alert me (the problem I have with graft is that it *replaces* history information for an element, not just *add* to it, which threw me off at my first attempt at creating one).

Last time I tried, git would not add files that was in the ".git" subdirectory to version control. I might have done something incorrectly, though, so I'll see if it works now.
