Irony ;-).

That may slow down writing the graph but would be a sensible way to
prevent an error in the existing commit-graph from spreading.

Probably yes. If we were doing "repack -a -d (without -f)" style of
"incremental", then we do need to revisit this, which is a moral
equivalent of saying "do not reuse delta" to "repack", and it would
make it impossible to be incremental.
Hopefully a true "incremental" shouldn't even have to touch existing
data, perhaps similar to "repack (without -a)", in which case the
equation may be different. If we'd be computing reachability for
only new things, there is nothing gained by allowing parse_commit()
to peek into existing commit-graph file (by definition, these new
things are not in there---that's the reason why we are incrementally
extending the commit-graph by computing the reachability for them).
I dunno.

This would not work as you think it would; corrupt_graph_verify is a
shell function, so you cannot VAR=VAL prefix to export an environment
variable only for the duration of the command.
