Actually, grafts are used to "fake" (or change) parents (ancestry) of an existing commit. It can be used both to add parents (e.g. joining roots of "current" repository with historical one), or remove parents (e.g. to shorten (cauterize) history like in the "shalllow clone" idea). -- Jakub Narebski Warsaw, Poland ```
