to avoid extra calculations by clients. This feature is only of benefit if
the user is willing to trust the file, because verifying the file is correct
is as hard as computing it from scratch.
The file processed by `git commit-graph` is referred to as the "commit-graph file", also with a dash. We have a few references to the "commit graph file", though, without the dash. These occur in git-commit-graph.txt as well as in Doc/technical/commit-graph.txt. Fix them. Do not change the references to the "commit graph" (without "... file") as a data structure.
