Christian Couder b0ab2b71d0 contrib: add convert-grafts-to-replace-refs.sh
This patch adds into contrib/ an example script to convert
grafts from an existing grafts file into replace refs using
the new --graft option of "git replace".

While at it let's mention this new script in the
"git replace" documentation for the --graft option.
