I think contrib/ has other rules than the core (c.f. `git log --oneline --no-merges --grep "contrib: remove"`) which is why I'd consider the deprecation dance unneeded. > At least it will catch those who arrive via random web advice! Good point, unlike the other removals, this is not a dormant project. I would still think it is ok to remove it. Those who are looking for this script, surely will look at the man page of git-replace or are looking for the grafts. `man gitglossary` is already sufficient: grafts Grafts enables [...] Note that the grafts mechanism is outdated and can lead to problems transferring objects between repositories; see git-replace(1) for a more flexible and robust system to do the same thing.
