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 ;-)
