Paul, I hate to tell you about yet another flag to git-rev-list, but did
you realize that in addition to all the other magic flags, there's a flag
called "--parents"?
Right now you use "git-rev-list --header --topo-order", which gives you
both the commit ID's and the header. Add a "--parents" there, and you'll
notice that the first line of each NUL-terminated record changes from just
the commit ID to the "commit ID + parent list".
That way gitk wouldn't need to actually know about grafts, because it
would just pick it up from the git-rev-list output which gets it from the
regular commit parsing code.
Umm. git-rev-list really does everything. Rule of thumb: if you _ever_
need to look at any other internal git information, you're probably doing
something wrong, or you've missed yet another flag ;)
