I think this patch is ready to go, barring the edit of "--additive" to 
"--append" in the final commit message and squashing following diff into 
"commit-graph: implement git commit-graph read":

@@ -31,7 +31,7 @@ static struct opts_commit_graph {

  static int graph_read(int argc, const char **argv)
  {
-       struct commit_graph *graph = 0;
+       struct commit_graph *graph = NULL;
         char *graph_name;

         static struct option builtin_commit_graph_read_options[] = {

If you prefer that I re-roll with those changes, I can send a v8.

I'm currently working on new series based on this feature:

* [1] Lazy-load trees when reading commit-graph (ds/lazy-load-trees)

* [2] Compute and consume generation numbers

* Move commit-graph.c globals to the_repository

* Implement 'fsck' functionality for the commit-graph file

* Integrate 'commit-graph write' into 'gc --auto'

I would also like to open the feature to other contributors, especially 
for others who can contribute performance improvements using generation 
numbers. We had a very valuable discussion on the list [2], and I look 
forward to more collaborations like that.

Thanks,
