+We need worry only about $C \in \py$.
+And $\patchof{C} = \patchof{L}$
+so $L \in \py$ so $L \haspatch \p$. We will use the Unique Base
+of $C$, and its Coherence and Patch Inclusion, as just proved.
+
+Firstly we show $C \haspatch \p$: If $R \in \py$, then $R \haspatch
+\p$ and by Coherence/Inclusion $C \haspatch \p$ . If $R \not\in \py$
+then by Tip Merge $M = \baseof{L}$ so by Base Acyclic and definition
+of $\nothaspatch$, $M \nothaspatch \p$. So by Coherence/Inclusion $C
+\haspatch \p$ (whether $R \haspatch \p$ or $\nothaspatch$).
+
+We will consider an arbitrary commit $D$
+and prove the Exclusive Tip Contents form.
+
+\subsubsection{For $D \in \py$:}
+$C \haspatch \p$ so by definition of $\haspatch$, $D \isin C \equiv D
+\le C$. OK.
+
+\subsubsection{For $D \not\in \py, R \not\in \py$:}
+
+$D \neq C$. By Tip Contents of $L$,
+$D \isin L \equiv D \isin \baseof{L}$, and by Tip Merge condition,
+$D \isin L \equiv D \isin M$. So by definition of $\merge$, $D \isin
+C \equiv D \isin R$. And $R = \baseof{C}$ by Unique Base of $C$.
+Thus $D \isin C \equiv D \isin \baseof{C}$. OK.
