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.
