However there is something that is concerning me, https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/GraftPoint says > As of Git 1.6.5, the more flexible git replace has been added, which > allows you to replace any object with any other object, and tracks > the associations via refs which can be pushed and pulled between repos. However the git-replace man page makes no mention of push or pull. under what circumstances will replacements be pushed or pulled, and what if any steps do I need to take to ensure that my replacements stay local.
