Honestly, I don't see anything weird with doing `make grand-replace`.
Commits affecting these parts of files almost never interfere with
real changes, which means that neither `git bisect` nor `git blame`
are essentially affected.  Admittedly, `git log` produces a lot of
output, but it is possible to filter out relevant commits with

```
git log -i --grep="grand.*replace" --invert-grep
```

In total, we have exactly 45 such commits out of more than 32000
commits done over the last 27 years.
