newly created object. See linkgit:git-var[1] for details about
how the editor will be chosen.
+--raw::
+ When editing, provide the raw object contents rather than
+ pretty-printed ones. Currently this only affects trees, which
+ will be shown in their binary form. This is harder to work with,
+ but can help when repairing a tree that is so corrupted it
+ cannot be pretty-printed. Note that you may need to configure
+ your editor to cleanly read and write binary data.
+
+ --graft <commit> [<parent>...]::
+ Create a graft commit. A new commit is created with the same
+ content as <commit> except that its parents will be
+ [<parent>...] instead of <commit>'s parents. A replacement ref
+ is then created to replace <commit> with the newly created
+ commit. See contrib/convert-grafts-to-replace-refs.sh for an
+ example script based on this option that can convert grafts to
+ replace refs.
