58 -It is envisioned that in practice, some auto resolutions are trickier and

132 -Cloning or fetching from a repository from grafts did not send objects
133 -that are hidden by grafts, but the commits in the resulting repository do
134 -need these to pass fsck. This fixes object transfer to ignore grafts.
