\section{Commit annotation}
We annotate each Topbloke commit $C$ with:
\bigforall_{\pay{Q} \not\ni C} \pendsof{C}{\pay{Q}}
\end{gather}
+$\patchof{C}$, for each kind of Topbloke-generated commit, is stated
+in the summary in the section for that kind of commit.
+
+Whether $\baseof{C}$ is required, and if so what the value is, is
+stated in the proof of Unique Base for each kind of commit.
+
+$C \haspatch \pa{Q}$ or $\nothaspatch \pa{Q}$ is represented as the
+set $\{ \pa{Q} | C \haspatch \pa{Q} \}$. Whether $C \haspatch \pa{Q}$
+is in stated
+(in terms of $I \haspatch \pa{Q}$ or $I \nothaspatch \pa{Q}$
+for the ingredients $I$),
+in the proof of Coherence for each kind of commit.
+
+$\pendsof{C}{\pa{Q}^+}$ is computed, for all Topbloke-generated commits,
+using the lemma Calculation of Ends, above.
We do not annotate $\pendsof{C}{\py}$ for $C \in \py$. Doing so would
make it wrong to make plain commits with git because the recorded $\pends$
-would have to be updated. The annotation is not needed because
-$\forall_{\py \ni C} \; \pendsof{C}{\py} = \{C\}$.
+would have to be updated. The annotation is not needed in that case

+\subsection{Non-Topbloke merges}
+
+We require both $\patchof{L} = \bot$ and $\patchof{R} = \bot$
+(Foreign Merges, above).
+I.e. not only is it forbidden to merge into a Topbloke-controlled
+branch without Topbloke's assistance, it is also forbidden to
+merge any Topbloke-controlled branch into any plain git branch.
+
+Given those conditions, Tip Merge and Merge Acyclic do not apply.
+And $Y \not\in \py$ so $\neg [ Y \haspatch \p ]$ so neither
+Merge Ends condition applies.
+
+So a plain git merge of non-Topbloke branches meets the conditions and
+is therefore consistent with our scheme.
\subsection{No Replay}
-\subsubsection{For $D=C$:} $D \isin C, D \le C$, trivial.
+By definition of $\merge$,
+$D \isin C \implies D \isin L \lor D \isin R \lor D = C$.
+So, by Ingredients,
+Ingredients Prevent Replay applies. $\qed$
+
+\subsection{Unique Base}
+
+Need to consider only $C \in \py$, ie $L \in \py$,
+and calculate $\pendsof{C}{\pn}$. So we will consider some
+putative ancestor $A \in \pn$ and see whether $A \le C$.
+
+By Exact Ancestors for C, $A \le C \equiv A \le L \lor A \le R \lor A = C$.
+But $C \in py$ and $A \in \pn$ so $A \neq C$.
+Thus $A \le C \equiv A \le L \lor A \le R$.
+
+By Unique Base of L and Transitive Ancestors,
+$A \le L \equiv A \le \baseof{L}$.
+
+\subsubsection{For $R \in \py$:}
+
+By Unique Base of $R$ and Transitive Ancestors,
+$A \le R \equiv A \le \baseof{R}$.
+
+But by Tip Merge condition on $\baseof{R}$,
+$A \le \baseof{L} \implies A \le \baseof{R}$, so
+$A \le \baseof{R} \lor A \le \baseof{L} \equiv A \le \baseof{R}$.
+Thus $A \le C \equiv A \le \baseof{R}$.
+That is, $\baseof{C} = \baseof{R}$.
+
+\subsubsection{For $R \in \pn$:}
+
+By Tip Merge condition on $R$ and since $M \le R$,
+$A \le \baseof{L} \implies A \le R$, so
+$A \le R \lor A \le \baseof{L} \equiv A \le R$.
+Thus $A \le C \equiv A \le R$.
+That is, $\baseof{C} = R$.
+
+$\qed$
+
+\subsection{Coherence and Patch Inclusion}
+
+Need to determine $C \haspatch \p$ based on $L,M,R \haspatch \p$.
+This involves considering $D \in \py$.
+
+\subsubsection{For $L \nothaspatch \p, R \nothaspatch \p$:}
+$D \not\isin L \land D \not\isin R$. $C \not\in \py$ (otherwise $L
+\in \py$ ie $L \haspatch \p$ by Tip Self Inpatch). So $D \neq C$.
+Applying $\merge$ gives $D \not\isin C$ i.e. $C \nothaspatch \p$.
+
+\subsubsection{For $L \haspatch \p, R \haspatch \p$:}
+$D \isin L \equiv D \le L$ and $D \isin R \equiv D \le R$.
+(Likewise $D \isin X \equiv D \le X$ and $D \isin Y \equiv D \le Y$.)
+
+Consider $D = C$: $D \isin C$, $D \le C$, OK for $C \haspatch \p$.
+
+For $D \neq C$: $D \le C \equiv D \le L \lor D \le R
+ \equiv D \isin L \lor D \isin R$.
+(Likewise $D \le C \equiv D \le X \lor D \le Y$.)
+
+Consider $D \neq C, D \isin X \land D \isin Y$:
+By $\merge$, $D \isin C$. Also $D \le X$
+so $D \le C$. OK for $C \haspatch \p$.
+
+Consider $D \neq C, D \not\isin X \land D \not\isin Y$:
+By $\merge$, $D \not\isin C$.
+And $D \not\le X \land D \not\le Y$ so $D \not\le C$.
+OK for $C \haspatch \p$.
+
+Remaining case, wlog, is $D \not\isin X \land D \isin Y$.
+$D \not\le X$ so $D \not\le M$ so $D \not\isin M$.
+Thus by $\merge$, $D \isin C$. And $D \le Y$ so $D \le C$.
+OK for $C \haspatch \p$.
+
+So indeed $L \haspatch \p \land R \haspatch \p \implies C \haspatch \p$.
+
+\subsubsection{For (wlog) $X \not\haspatch \p, Y \haspatch \p$:}
+
+$M \haspatch \p \implies C \nothaspatch \p$.
+$M \nothaspatch \p \implies C \haspatch \p$.
+
+\proofstarts
+
+One of the Merge Ends conditions applies.
+Recall that we are considering $D \in \py$.
+$D \isin Y \equiv D \le Y$. $D \not\isin X$.
+We will show for each of
+various cases that $D \isin C \equiv M \nothaspatch \p \land D \le C$
+(which suffices by definition of $\haspatch$ and $\nothaspatch$).
+
+Consider $D = C$: Thus $C \in \py, L \in \py$, and by Tip
+Self Inpatch $L \haspatch \p$, so $L=Y, R=X$. By Tip Merge,
+$M=\baseof{L}$. So by Base Acyclic $D \not\isin M$, i.e.
+$M \nothaspatch \p$. And indeed $D \isin C$ and $D \le C$. OK.
+
+Consider $D \neq C, M \nothaspatch P, D \isin Y$:
+$D \le Y$ so $D \le C$.
+$D \not\isin M$ so by $\merge$, $D \isin C$. OK.
+
+Consider $D \neq C, M \nothaspatch P, D \not\isin Y$:
+$D \not\le Y$. If $D \le X$ then
+$D \in \pancsof{X}{\py}$, so by Addition Merge Ends and
+Transitive Ancestors $D \le Y$ --- a contradiction, so $D \not\le X$.
+Thus $D \not\le C$. By $\merge$, $D \not\isin C$. OK.
+
+Consider $D \neq C, M \haspatch P, D \isin Y$:
+$D \le Y$ so $D \in \pancsof{Y}{\py}$ so by Removal Merge Ends
+and Transitive Ancestors $D \in \pancsof{M}{\py}$ so $D \le M$.
+Thus $D \isin M$. By $\merge$, $D \not\isin C$. OK.
+
+Consider $D \neq C, M \haspatch P, D \not\isin Y$:
+By $\merge$, $D \not\isin C$. OK.
+
+$\qed$

+\subsection{Base Acyclic}
+
+This applies when $C \in \pn$.
+$C \in \pn$ when $L \in \pn$ so by Merge Acyclic, $R \nothaspatch \p$.
+
+Consider some $D \in \py$.
+
+By Base Acyclic of $L$, $D \not\isin L$. By the above, $D \not\isin
+R$. And $D \neq C$. So $D \not\isin C$.
+
+$\qed$
+
+\subsection{Tip Contents}
+
+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.
+
+\subsubsection{For $D \not\in \py, R \in \py$:}
+
+$D \neq C$.
+
+By Tip Contents
+$D \isin L \equiv D \isin \baseof{L}$ and
+$D \isin R \equiv D \isin \baseof{R}$.
+
+If $\baseof{L} = M$, trivially $D \isin M \equiv D \isin \baseof{L}.$
+Whereas if $\baseof{L} = \baseof{M}$, by definition of $\base$,
+$\patchof{M} = \patchof{L} = \py$, so by Tip Contents of $M$,
+$D \isin M \equiv D \isin \baseof{M} \equiv D \isin \baseof{L}$.
+
+So $D \isin M \equiv D \isin L$ and by $\merge$,
+$D \isin C \equiv D \isin R$. But from Unique Base,
+$\baseof{C} = R$ so $D \isin C \equiv D \isin \baseof{C}$. OK.
+
+$\qed$
+
+\subsection{Foreign Inclusion}
+
+Consider some $D$ s.t. $\patchof{D} = \bot$.
+By Foreign Inclusion of $L, M, R$:
+$D \isin L \equiv D \le L$;
+$D \isin M \equiv D \le M$;
+$D \isin R \equiv D \le R$.
+
+\subsubsection{For $D = C$:}
+
+$D \isin C$ and $D \le C$. OK.
+
+\subsubsection{For $D \neq C, D \isin M$:}
+
+Thus $D \le M$ so $D \le L$ and $D \le R$ so $D \isin L$ and $D \isin
+R$. So by $\merge$, $D \isin C$. And $D \le C$. OK.
+
+\subsubsection{For $D \neq C, D \not\isin M, D \isin X$:}
+
+By $\merge$, $D \isin C$.
+And $D \isin X$ means $D \le X$ so $D \le C$.
+OK.
+
+\subsubsection{For $D \neq C, D \not\isin M, D \not\isin L, D \not\isin R$:}
+
+By $\merge$, $D \not\isin C$.
+And $D \not\le L, D \not\le R$ so $D \not\le C$.
+OK
+
+$\qed$
+
+\subsection{Foreign Contents}
-\subsubsection{For $D \isin L \land D \isin R$:}
-$D \isin C$. And $D \isin L
+Only relevant if $\patchof{L} = \bot$, in which case
+$\patchof{C} = \bot$ and by Foreign Merges $\patchof{R} = \bot$,
+so Totally Foreign Contents applies. $\qed$
