Subject: [PATCH] git-svn: understand grafts when doing dcommit

From: Eric Wong <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 8 Sep 2007 16:33:08 -0700

Use the rev-list --parents functionality to read the parents
of the commit.  cat-file only shows the raw object with the
original parents and doesn't take into account grafts; so
we'll rely on rev-list machinery for the smarts here.

  Interesting.  I didn't know about the --parents option before.
