Do not cat a single file into a pipeline.

    while read definition
    do
    	git replace --graft $definition
    done <"${GIT_DIR:-.git}/info/grafts"

or something. You might also have to be careful to use "read -r" and/or avoid feeding a comment line (if info/grafts supports it) to the command inside do ... done, but I didn't check what the graft reading code does myself ;-)
