102 \item[ $ C \hasparents \set X $ ]
103 The parents of commit $C$ are exactly the set
107 $C$ is a descendant of $D$ in the git commit
108 graph. This is a partial order, namely the transitive closure of
109 $ D \in \set X $ where $ C \hasparents \set X $.
111 \item[ $ C \has D $ ]
112 Informally, the tree at commit $C$ contains the change
113 made in commit $D$. Does not take account of deliberate reversions by
114 the user or reversion, rebasing or rewinding in
115 non-Topbloke-controlled branches. For merges and Topbloke-generated
116 anticommits or re-commits, the ``change made'' is only to be thought
117 of as any conflict resolution. This is not a partial order because it
120 \item[ $ \p, \py, \pn $ ]
121 A patch $\p$ consists of two sets of commits $\pn$ and $\py$, which
122 are respectively the base and tip git branches. $\p$ may be used
123 where the context requires a set, in which case the statement
124 is to be taken as applying to both $\py$ and $\pn$.
125 None of these sets overlap. Hence:
127 \item[ $ \patchof{ C } $ ]
128 Either $\p$ s.t. $ C \in \p $, or $\bot$.
129 A function from commits to patches' sets $\p$.
131 \item[ $ \pancsof{C}{\set P} $ ]
132 $ \{ A \; | \; A \le C \land A \in \set P \} $
133 i.e. all the ancestors of $C$
134 which are in $\set P$.
136 \item[ $ \pendsof{C}{\set P} $ ]
137 $ \{ E \; | \; E \in \pancsof{C}{\set P}
138 \land \mathop{\not\exists}_{A \in \pancsof{C}{\set P}}
139 E \neq A \land E \le A \} $
140 i.e. all $\le$-maximal commits in $\pancsof{C}{\set P}$.
142 \item[ $ \baseof{C} $ ]
143 $ \pendsof{C}{\pn} = \{ \baseof{C} \} $ where $ C \in \py $.
144 A partial function from commits to commits.
145 See Unique Base, below.
147 \item[ $ C \haspatch \p $ ]
148 $\displaystyle \bigforall_{D \in \py} D \isin C \equiv D \le C $.
149 ~ Informally, $C$ has the contents of $\p$.
151 \item[ $ C \nothaspatch \p $ ]
152 $\displaystyle \bigforall_{D \in \py} D \not\isin C $.
153 ~ Informally, $C$ has none of the contents of $\p$.
155 Non-Topbloke commits are $\nothaspatch \p$ for all $\p$. This
156 includes commits on plain git branches made by applying a Topbloke
158 patch is applied to a non-Topbloke branch and then bubbles back to
159 the relevant Topbloke branches, we hope that
160 if the user still cares about the Topbloke patch,
161 git's merge algorithm will DTRT when trying to re-apply the changes.
163 \item[ $\displaystyle \mergeof{C}{L}{M}{R} $ ]
164 The contents of a git merge result:
166 $\displaystyle D \isin C \equiv
168 (D \isin L \land D \isin R) \lor D = C : & \true \\
169 (D \not\isin L \land D \not\isin R) \land D \neq C : & \false \\

224 Ie, the two limbs of the RHS of Tip Contents are mutually exclusive.
227 Let $B = \baseof{C}$ in $D \isin \baseof{C}$. Now $B \in \pn$.
228 So by Base Acyclic $D \isin B \implies D \notin \py$.

263 The implication from right to left is trivial because

265 For the implication from left to right:
266 by the definition of $\mathcal E$,
267 for every such $A$, either $A \in \pends()$ which implies
268 $A \le M$ by the LHS directly,
269 or $\exists_{A' \in \pancs()} \; A' \neq A \land A \le A' $
270 in which case we repeat for $A'$. Since there are finitely many
271 commits, this terminates with $A'' \in \pends()$, ie $A'' \le M$
272 by the LHS. And $A \le A''$.

307 $D \isin C$. And $D \isin L \implies D \le L \implies D \le C$. OK.

323 \section{Commit annotation}
325 We annotate each Topbloke commit $C$ with:
329 \baseof{C}, \text{ if } C \in \py
332 \text{ either } C \haspatch \pa{Q} \text{ or } C \nothaspatch \pa{Q}
334 \bigforall_{\pay{Q} \not\ni C} \pendsof{C}{\pay{Q}}
337 $\patchof{C}$, for each kind of Topbloke-generated commit, is stated
338 in the summary in the section for that kind of commit.
340 Whether $\baseof{C}$ is required, and if so what the value is, is
341 stated in the proof of Unique Base for each kind of commit.
343 $C \haspatch \pa{Q}$ or $\nothaspatch \pa{Q}$ is represented as the
344 set $\{ \pa{Q} | C \haspatch \pa{Q} \}$. Whether $C \haspatch \pa{Q}$
346 (in terms of $I \haspatch \pa{Q}$ or $I \nothaspatch \pa{Q}$
347 for the ingredients $I$),
348 in the proof of Coherence for each kind of commit.
350 $\pendsof{C}{\pa{Q}^+}$ is computed, for all Topbloke-generated commits,
351 using the lemma Calculation of Ends, above.
352 We do not annotate $\pendsof{C}{\py}$ for $C \in \py$. Doing so would
353 make it wrong to make plain commits with git because the recorded $\pends$
354 would have to be updated. The annotation is not needed in that case
355 because $\forall_{\py \ni C} \; \pendsof{C}{\py} = \{C\}$.
357 \section{Simple commit}
359 A simple single-parent forward commit $C$ as made by git-commit.
361 \tag*{} C \hasparents \{ A \} \\
362 \tag*{} \patchof{C} = \patchof{A} \\
363 \tag*{} D \isin C \equiv D \isin A \lor D = C
365 This also covers Topbloke-generated commits on plain git branches:
366 Topbloke strips the metadata when exporting.
368 \subsection{No Replay}
371 \subsection{Unique Base}
372 If $A, C \in \py$ then by Calculation of Ends for
373 $C, \py, C \not\in \py$:
374 $\pendsof{C}{\pn} = \pendsof{A}{\pn}$ so
375 $\baseof{C} = \baseof{A}$. $\qed$
377 \subsection{Tip Contents}
378 We need to consider only $A, C \in \py$. From Tip Contents for $A$:
379 \[ D \isin A \equiv D \isin \baseof{A} \lor ( D \in \py \land D \le A ) \]
380 Substitute into the contents of $C$:
381 \[ D \isin C \equiv D \isin \baseof{A} \lor ( D \in \py \land D \le A )
383 Since $D = C \implies D \in \py$,
384 and substituting in $\baseof{C}$, this gives:
385 \[ D \isin C \equiv D \isin \baseof{C} \lor
386 (D \in \py \land D \le A) \lor
387 (D = C \land D \in \py) \]
388 \[ \equiv D \isin \baseof{C} \lor
389 [ D \in \py \land ( D \le A \lor D = C ) ] \]
390 So by Exact Ancestors:
391 \[ D \isin C \equiv D \isin \baseof{C} \lor ( D \in \py \land D \le C
395 \subsection{Base Acyclic}
397 Need to consider only $A, C \in \pn$.
399 For $D = C$: $D \in \pn$ so $D \not\in \py$. OK.
401 For $D \neq C$: $D \isin C \equiv D \isin A$, so by Base Acyclic for
402 $A$, $D \isin C \implies D \not\in \py$.
406 \subsection{Coherence and patch inclusion}
408 Need to consider $D \in \py$
410 \subsubsection{For $A \haspatch P, D = C$:}
416 $ D \isin C \equiv \ldots \lor \true \text{ so } D \haspatch C $.
418 \subsubsection{For $A \haspatch P, D \neq C$:}
419 Ancestors: $ D \le C \equiv D \le A $.
421 Contents: $ D \isin C \equiv D \isin A \lor f $
422 so $ D \isin C \equiv D \isin A $.
425 \[ A \haspatch P \implies C \haspatch P \]
427 \subsubsection{For $A \nothaspatch P$:}
429 Firstly, $C \not\in \py$ since if it were, $A \in \py$.
432 Now by contents of $A$, $D \notin A$, so $D \notin C$.
435 \[ A \nothaspatch P \implies C \nothaspatch P \]
438 \subsection{Foreign inclusion:}
440 If $D = C$, trivial. For $D \neq C$:
441 $D \isin C \equiv D \isin A \equiv D \le A \equiv D \le C$. $\qed$
443 \section{Create Base}
453 Given $L$ and $\pr$ as represented by $R^+, R^-$.
454 Construct $C$ which has $\pr$ removed.
455 Used for removing a branch dependency.
457 C \hasparents \{ L \}
459 \patchof{C} = \patchof{L}

475 \[ \eqn{ Currently Included }{
479 \subsection{Ordering of ${L, R^+, R^-}$:}
481 By Unique Tip, $R^+ \le L$. By definition of $\base$, $R^- \le R^+$
482 so $R^- \le L$. So $R^+ \le C$ and $R^- \le C$.
485 (Note that the merge base $R^+ \not\le R^-$, i.e. the merge base is
486 later than one of the branches to be merged.)
488 \subsection{No Replay}
490 No Replay for Merge Results applies. $\qed$
492 \subsection{Desired Contents}
494 \[ D \isin C \equiv [ D \notin \pry \land D \isin L ] \lor D = C \]
497 \subsubsection{For $D = C$:}
499 Trivially $D \isin C$. OK.
501 \subsubsection{For $D \neq C, D \not\le L$:}
503 By No Replay $D \not\isin L$. Also $D \not\le R^-$ hence
504 $D \not\isin R^-$. Thus $D \not\isin C$. OK.
506 \subsubsection{For $D \neq C, D \le L, D \in \pry$:}
508 By Currently Included, $D \isin L$.
510 By Tip Self Inpatch, $D \isin R^+ \equiv D \le R^+$, but by
511 by Unique Tip, $D \le R^+ \equiv D \le L$.
514 By Base Acyclic, $D \not\isin R^-$.
516 Apply $\merge$: $D \not\isin C$. OK.
518 \subsubsection{For $D \neq C, D \le L, D \notin \pry$:}
520 By Tip Contents for $R^+$, $D \isin R^+ \equiv D \isin R^-$.
522 Apply $\merge$: $D \isin C \equiv D \isin L$. OK.
526 \subsection{Unique Base}
528 Into Base means that $C \in \pn$, so Unique Base is not
531 \subsection{Tip Contents}
533 Again, not applicable. $\qed$
535 \subsection{Base Acyclic}
537 By Base Acyclic for $L$, $D \isin L \implies D \not\in \py$.
538 And by Into Base $C \not\in \py$.
539 Now from Desired Contents, above, $D \isin C
540 \implies D \isin L \lor D = C$, which thus
541 $\implies D \not\in \py$. $\qed$.
543 \subsection{Coherence and Patch Inclusion}
545 Need to consider some $D \in \py$. By Into Base, $D \neq C$.
547 \subsubsection{For $\p = \pr$:}
548 By Desired Contents, above, $D \not\isin C$.
549 So $C \nothaspatch \pr$.
551 \subsubsection{For $\p \neq \pr$:}
552 By Desired Contents, $D \isin C \equiv D \isin L$
553 (since $D \in \py$ so $D \not\in \pry$).
555 If $L \nothaspatch \p$, $D \not\isin L$ so $D \not\isin C$.
556 So $L \nothaspatch \p \implies C \nothaspatch \p$.
558 Whereas if $L \haspatch \p$, $D \isin L \equiv D \le L$.
559 so $L \haspatch \p \implies C \haspatch \p$.
563 \section{Foreign Inclusion}
565 Consider some $D$ s.t. $\patchof{D} = \bot$. $D \neq C$.
566 So by Desired Contents $D \isin C \equiv D \isin L$.
567 By Foreign Inclusion of $D$ in $L$, $D \isin L \equiv D \le L$.
569 And $D \le C \equiv D \le L$.
570 Thus $D \isin C \equiv D \le C$.
576 Merge commits $L$ and $R$ using merge base $M$ ($M < L, M < R$):
578 C \hasparents \{ L, R \}
580 \patchof{C} = \patchof{L}
584 We will occasionally use $X,Y$ s.t. $\{X,Y\} = \{L,R\}$.
586 \subsection{Conditions}
588 \[ \eqn{ Tip Merge }{
591 R \in \py : & \baseof{R} \ge \baseof{L}
592 \land [\baseof{L} = M \lor \baseof{L} = \baseof{M}] \\

609 \[ \eqn{ Addition Merge Ends }{
610 X \not\haspatch \p \land
614 \bigforall_{E \in \pendsof{X}{\py}} E \le Y
618 \subsection{Non-Topbloke merges}
620 We require both $\patchof{L} = \bot$ and $\patchof{R} = \bot$.
621 I.e. not only is it forbidden to merge into a Topbloke-controlled
622 branch without Topbloke's assistance, it is also forbidden to
623 merge any Topbloke-controlled branch into any plain git branch.
625 Given those conditions, Tip Merge and Merge Acyclic do not apply.
626 And $Y \not\in \py$ so $\neg [ Y \haspatch \p ]$ so neither
627 Merge Ends condition applies. Good.
629 \subsection{No Replay}
631 No Replay for Merge Results applies. $\qed$
633 \subsection{Unique Base}
635 Need to consider only $C \in \py$, ie $L \in \py$,
636 and calculate $\pendsof{C}{\pn}$. So we will consider some
637 putative ancestor $A \in \pn$ and see whether $A \le C$.
639 By Exact Ancestors for C, $A \le C \equiv A \le L \lor A \le R \lor A = C$.
640 But $C \in py$ and $A \in \pn$ so $A \neq C$.
641 Thus $A \le C \equiv A \le L \lor A \le R$.
643 By Unique Base of L and Transitive Ancestors,
644 $A \le L \equiv A \le \baseof{L}$.
646 \subsubsection{For $R \in \py$:}
648 By Unique Base of $R$ and Transitive Ancestors,
649 $A \le R \equiv A \le \baseof{R}$.
651 But by Tip Merge condition on $\baseof{R}$,
652 $A \le \baseof{L} \implies A \le \baseof{R}$, so
653 $A \le \baseof{R} \lor A \le \baseof{L} \equiv A \le \baseof{R}$.
654 Thus $A \le C \equiv A \le \baseof{R}$.
655 That is, $\baseof{C} = \baseof{R}$.
657 \subsubsection{For $R \in \pn$:}
659 By Tip Merge condition on $R$ and since $M \le R$,
660 $A \le \baseof{L} \implies A \le R$, so
661 $A \le R \lor A \le \baseof{L} \equiv A \le R$.
662 Thus $A \le C \equiv A \le R$.
663 That is, $\baseof{C} = R$.
667 \subsection{Coherence and Patch Inclusion}
669 Need to determine $C \haspatch \p$ based on $L,M,R \haspatch \p$.
670 This involves considering $D \in \py$.
672 \subsubsection{For $L \nothaspatch \p, R \nothaspatch \p$:}
673 $D \not\isin L \land D \not\isin R$. $C \not\in \py$ (otherwise $L
674 \in \py$ ie $L \haspatch \p$ by Tip Self Inpatch). So $D \neq C$.
675 Applying $\merge$ gives $D \not\isin C$ i.e. $C \nothaspatch \p$.
677 \subsubsection{For $L \haspatch \p, R \haspatch \p$:}
678 $D \isin L \equiv D \le L$ and $D \isin R \equiv D \le R$.
679 (Likewise $D \isin X \equiv D \le X$ and $D \isin Y \equiv D \le Y$.)
681 Consider $D = C$: $D \isin C$, $D \le C$, OK for $C \haspatch \p$.
683 For $D \neq C$: $D \le C \equiv D \le L \lor D \le R
684 \equiv D \isin L \lor D \isin R$.
685 (Likewise $D \le C \equiv D \le X \lor D \le Y$.)
687 Consider $D \neq C, D \isin X \land D \isin Y$:
688 By $\merge$, $D \isin C$. Also $D \le X$
689 so $D \le C$. OK for $C \haspatch \p$.
691 Consider $D \neq C, D \not\isin X \land D \not\isin Y$:
692 By $\merge$, $D \not\isin C$.
693 And $D \not\le X \land D \not\le Y$ so $D \not\le C$.
694 OK for $C \haspatch \p$.
696 Remaining case, wlog, is $D \not\isin X \land D \isin Y$.
697 $D \not\le X$ so $D \not\le M$ so $D \not\isin M$.
698 Thus by $\merge$, $D \isin C$. And $D \le Y$ so $D \le C$.
699 OK for $C \haspatch \p$.
701 So indeed $L \haspatch \p \land R \haspatch \p \implies C \haspatch \p$.
703 \subsubsection{For (wlog) $X \not\haspatch \p, Y \haspatch \p$:}
705 $M \haspatch \p \implies C \nothaspatch \p$.
706 $M \nothaspatch \p \implies C \haspatch \p$.
710 One of the Merge Ends conditions applies.
711 Recall that we are considering $D \in \py$.
712 $D \isin Y \equiv D \le Y$. $D \not\isin X$.
713 We will show for each of
714 various cases that $D \isin C \equiv M \nothaspatch \p \land D \le C$
715 (which suffices by definition of $\haspatch$ and $\nothaspatch$).
717 Consider $D = C$: Thus $C \in \py, L \in \py$, and by Tip
718 Self Inpatch $L \haspatch \p$, so $L=Y, R=X$. By Tip Merge,
719 $M=\baseof{L}$. So by Base Acyclic $D \not\isin M$, i.e.
720 $M \nothaspatch \p$. And indeed $D \isin C$ and $D \le C$. OK.
722 Consider $D \neq C, M \nothaspatch P, D \isin Y$:
723 $D \le Y$ so $D \le C$.
724 $D \not\isin M$ so by $\merge$, $D \isin C$. OK.
726 Consider $D \neq C, M \nothaspatch P, D \not\isin Y$:
727 $D \not\le Y$. If $D \le X$ then
728 $D \in \pancsof{X}{\py}$, so by Addition Merge Ends and
729 Transitive Ancestors $D \le Y$ --- a contradiction, so $D \not\le X$.
730 Thus $D \not\le C$. By $\merge$, $D \not\isin C$. OK.
732 Consider $D \neq C, M \haspatch P, D \isin Y$:
733 $D \le Y$ so $D \in \pancsof{Y}{\py}$ so by Removal Merge Ends
734 and Transitive Ancestors $D \in \pancsof{M}{\py}$ so $D \le M$.
735 Thus $D \isin M$. By $\merge$, $D \not\isin C$. OK.
737 Consider $D \neq C, M \haspatch P, D \not\isin Y$:
738 By $\merge$, $D \not\isin C$. OK.
742 \subsection{Base Acyclic}
744 This applies when $C \in \pn$.
745 $C \in \pn$ when $L \in \pn$ so by Merge Acyclic, $R \nothaspatch \p$.
747 Consider some $D \in \py$.
749 By Base Acyclic of $L$, $D \not\isin L$. By the above, $D \not\isin
750 R$. And $D \neq C$. So $D \not\isin C$.
754 \subsection{Tip Contents}
756 We need worry only about $C \in \py$.
757 And $\patchof{C} = \patchof{L}$
758 so $L \in \py$ so $L \haspatch \p$. We will use the Unique Base
759 of $C$, and its Coherence and Patch Inclusion, as just proved.
761 Firstly we show $C \haspatch \p$: If $R \in \py$, then $R \haspatch
762 \p$ and by Coherence/Inclusion $C \haspatch \p$ . If $R \not\in \py$
763 then by Tip Merge $M = \baseof{L}$ so by Base Acyclic and definition
764 of $\nothaspatch$, $M \nothaspatch \p$. So by Coherence/Inclusion $C
765 \haspatch \p$ (whether $R \haspatch \p$ or $\nothaspatch$).
767 We will consider an arbitrary commit $D$
768 and prove the Exclusive Tip Contents form.
770 \subsubsection{For $D \in \py$:}
771 $C \haspatch \p$ so by definition of $\haspatch$, $D \isin C \equiv D
774 \subsubsection{For $D \not\in \py, R \not\in \py$:}
776 $D \neq C$. By Tip Contents of $L$,
777 $D \isin L \equiv D \isin \baseof{L}$, and by Tip Merge condition,
778 $D \isin L \equiv D \isin M$. So by definition of $\merge$, $D \isin
779 C \equiv D \isin R$. And $R = \baseof{C}$ by Unique Base of $C$.
780 Thus $D \isin C \equiv D \isin \baseof{C}$. OK.
782 \subsubsection{For $D \not\in \py, R \in \py$:}
787 $D \isin L \equiv D \isin \baseof{L}$ and
788 $D \isin R \equiv D \isin \baseof{R}$.
790 If $\baseof{L} = M$, trivially $D \isin M \equiv D \isin \baseof{L}.$
791 Whereas if $\baseof{L} = \baseof{M}$, by definition of $\base$,
792 $\patchof{M} = \patchof{L} = \py$, so by Tip Contents of $M$,
793 $D \isin M \equiv D \isin \baseof{M} \equiv D \isin \baseof{L}$.
795 So $D \isin M \equiv D \isin L$ and by $\merge$,
796 $D \isin C \equiv D \isin R$. But from Unique Base,
797 $\baseof{C} = R$ so $D \isin C \equiv D \isin \baseof{C}$. OK.
801 \subsection{Foreign Inclusion}
803 Consider some $D$ s.t. $\patchof{D} = \bot$.
804 By Foreign Inclusion of $L, M, R$:
805 $D \isin L \equiv D \le L$;
806 $D \isin M \equiv D \le M$;
807 $D \isin R \equiv D \le R$.
809 \subsubsection{For $D = C$:}
811 $D \isin C$ and $D \le C$. OK.
813 \subsubsection{For $D \neq C, D \isin M$:}
815 Thus $D \le M$ so $D \le L$ and $D \le R$ so $D \isin L$ and $D \isin
816 R$. So by $\merge$, $D \isin C$. And $D \le C$. OK.
818 \subsubsection{For $D \neq C, D \not\isin M, D \isin X$:}
820 By $\merge$, $D \isin C$.
821 And $D \isin X$ means $D \le X$ so $D \le C$.
824 \subsubsection{For $D \neq C, D \not\isin M, D \not\isin L, D \not\isin R$:}
826 By $\merge$, $D \not\isin C$.
827 And $D \not\le L, D \not\le R$ so $D \not\le C$.
