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 \\

220 Original definition is symmetrical in $L$ and $R$.
223 \[ \eqn{Exclusive Tip Contents:}{
224 \bigforall_{C \in \py}
225 \neg \Bigl[ D \isin \baseof{C} \land ( D \in \py \land D \le C )
228 Ie, the two limbs of the RHS of Tip Contents are mutually exclusive.
231 Let $B = \baseof{C}$ in $D \isin \baseof{C}$. Now $B \in \pn$.
232 So by Base Acyclic $D \isin B \implies D \notin \py$.
234 \[ \eqntag{{\it Corollary - equivalent to Tip Contents}}{
235 \bigforall_{C \in \py} D \isin C \equiv

242 \[ \eqn{Tip Self Inpatch:}{
243 \bigforall_{C \in \py} C \haspatch \p
245 Ie, tip commits contain their own patch.
248 Apply Exclusive Tip Contents to some $D \in \py$:
249 $ \bigforall_{C \in \py}\bigforall_{D \in \py}
250 D \isin C \equiv D \le C $

263 \left[ \bigforall_{ A \in \pancsof{C}{\set P} } A \le M \right]
267 The implication from right to left is trivial because
268 $ \pends() \subset \pancs() $.
269 For the implication from left to right:
270 by the definition of $\mathcal E$,
271 for every such $A$, either $A \in \pends()$ which implies
272 $A \le M$ by the LHS directly,
273 or $\exists_{A' \in \pancs()} \; A' \neq A \land A \le A' $
274 in which case we repeat for $A'$. Since there are finitely many
275 commits, this terminates with $A'' \in \pends()$, ie $A'' \le M$
276 by the LHS. And $A \le A''$.

310 Trivial for $D = C$. Consider some $D \neq C$, $D \isin C$.
311 By the preconditions, there is some $A$ s.t. $D \in \set A$
312 and $D \isin A$. By No Replay for $A$, $D \le A$. And
313 $A \le C$ so $D \le C$.

330 Consider some $D \le C$. If $D = C$, $\patchof{D} = \bot$ trivially.
331 If $D \neq C$ then $D \le A$ where $A \in \set A$. By Foreign
332 Contents of $A$, $\patchof{D} = \bot$.
335 \section{Commit annotation}
337 We annotate each Topbloke commit $C$ with:
341 \baseof{C}, \text{ if } C \in \py
344 \text{ either } C \haspatch \pa{Q} \text{ or } C \nothaspatch \pa{Q}
346 \bigforall_{\pay{Q} \not\ni C} \pendsof{C}{\pay{Q}}
349 $\patchof{C}$, for each kind of Topbloke-generated commit, is stated
350 in the summary in the section for that kind of commit.
352 Whether $\baseof{C}$ is required, and if so what the value is, is
353 stated in the proof of Unique Base for each kind of commit.
355 $C \haspatch \pa{Q}$ or $\nothaspatch \pa{Q}$ is represented as the
356 set $\{ \pa{Q} | C \haspatch \pa{Q} \}$. Whether $C \haspatch \pa{Q}$
358 (in terms of $I \haspatch \pa{Q}$ or $I \nothaspatch \pa{Q}$
359 for the ingredients $I$),
360 in the proof of Coherence for each kind of commit.
362 $\pendsof{C}{\pa{Q}^+}$ is computed, for all Topbloke-generated commits,
363 using the lemma Calculation of Ends, above.
364 We do not annotate $\pendsof{C}{\py}$ for $C \in \py$. Doing so would
365 make it wrong to make plain commits with git because the recorded $\pends$
366 would have to be updated. The annotation is not needed in that case
367 because $\forall_{\py \ni C} \; \pendsof{C}{\py} = \{C\}$.
369 \section{Simple commit}
371 A simple single-parent forward commit $C$ as made by git-commit.
373 \tag*{} C \hasparents \{ A \} \\
374 \tag*{} \patchof{C} = \patchof{A} \\
375 \tag*{} D \isin C \equiv D \isin A \lor D = C
377 This also covers Topbloke-generated commits on plain git branches:
378 Topbloke strips the metadata when exporting.
380 \subsection{No Replay}
382 Ingredients Prevent Replay applies. $\qed$
384 \subsection{Unique Base}
385 If $A, C \in \py$ then by Calculation of Ends for
386 $C, \py, C \not\in \py$:
387 $\pendsof{C}{\pn} = \pendsof{A}{\pn}$ so
388 $\baseof{C} = \baseof{A}$. $\qed$
390 \subsection{Tip Contents}
391 We need to consider only $A, C \in \py$. From Tip Contents for $A$:
392 \[ D \isin A \equiv D \isin \baseof{A} \lor ( D \in \py \land D \le A ) \]
393 Substitute into the contents of $C$:
394 \[ D \isin C \equiv D \isin \baseof{A} \lor ( D \in \py \land D \le A )
396 Since $D = C \implies D \in \py$,
397 and substituting in $\baseof{C}$, this gives:
398 \[ D \isin C \equiv D \isin \baseof{C} \lor
399 (D \in \py \land D \le A) \lor
400 (D = C \land D \in \py) \]
401 \[ \equiv D \isin \baseof{C} \lor
402 [ D \in \py \land ( D \le A \lor D = C ) ] \]
403 So by Exact Ancestors:
404 \[ D \isin C \equiv D \isin \baseof{C} \lor ( D \in \py \land D \le C
408 \subsection{Base Acyclic}
410 Need to consider only $A, C \in \pn$.
412 For $D = C$: $D \in \pn$ so $D \not\in \py$. OK.
414 For $D \neq C$: $D \isin C \equiv D \isin A$, so by Base Acyclic for
415 $A$, $D \isin C \implies D \not\in \py$.
419 \subsection{Coherence and patch inclusion}
421 Need to consider $D \in \py$
423 \subsubsection{For $A \haspatch P, D = C$:}
429 $ D \isin C \equiv \ldots \lor \true \text{ so } D \haspatch C $.
431 \subsubsection{For $A \haspatch P, D \neq C$:}
432 Ancestors: $ D \le C \equiv D \le A $.
434 Contents: $ D \isin C \equiv D \isin A \lor f $
435 so $ D \isin C \equiv D \isin A $.
438 \[ A \haspatch P \implies C \haspatch P \]
440 \subsubsection{For $A \nothaspatch P$:}
442 Firstly, $C \not\in \py$ since if it were, $A \in \py$.
445 Now by contents of $A$, $D \notin A$, so $D \notin C$.
448 \[ A \nothaspatch P \implies C \nothaspatch P \]
451 \subsection{Foreign inclusion:}
453 If $D = C$, trivial. For $D \neq C$:
454 $D \isin C \equiv D \isin A \equiv D \le A \equiv D \le C$. $\qed$
456 \subsection{Foreign Contents:}
458 Only relevant if $\patchof{C} = \bot$, and in that case Totally
459 Foreign Contents applies. $\qed$

463 Given $L$, create a Topbloke base branch initial commit $B$.
465 B \hasparents \{ L \}

485 \subsection{Unique Base}
489 \subsection{Tip Contents}
493 \subsection{Base Acyclic}
495 Consider some $D \isin B$. If $D = B$, $D \in \pan{Q}$.
496 If $D \neq B$, $D \isin L$, and by Create Acyclic
497 $D \not\in \pay{Q}$. $\qed$
499 \subsection{Coherence and Patch Inclusion}
501 Consider some $D \in \p$.
502 $B \not\in \py$ so $D \neq B$. So $D \isin B \equiv D \isin L$.
504 Thus $L \haspatch \p \implies B \haspatch P$
505 and $L \nothaspatch \p \implies B \nothaspatch P$.
509 \subsection{Foreign Inclusion}
511 Consider some $D$ s.t. $\patchof{D} = \bot$. $D \neq B$
512 so $D \isin B \equiv D \isin L$.
513 By Foreign Inclusion of $D$ in $L$, $D \isin L \equiv D \le L$.
514 And by Exact Ancestors $D \le L \equiv D \le B$.
515 So $D \isin B \equiv D \le B$. $\qed$
517 \subsection{Foreign Contents}
523 Given a Topbloke base $B$, create a tip branch initial commit B.
525 C \hasparents \{ B \}
527 \patchof{B} = \pay{Q}
529 D \isin C \equiv D \isin B \lor D = C
532 \subsection{Conditions}
534 \[ \eqn{ Ingredients }{

542 \subsection{Unique Base}
544 Trivially, $\pendsof{C}{\pan{Q}} = \{B\}$ so $\baseof{C} = B$.
546 \subsection{Tip Contents}
548 Consider some arbitrary commit $D$. If $D = C$, trivially satisfied.
550 If $D \neq C$, $D \isin C \equiv D \isin B$.
551 By Base Acyclic of $B$, $D \isin B \implies D \not\in \pay{Q}$.
552 So $D \isin C \equiv D \isin \baseof{B}$.
560 Given $L$ and $\pr$ as represented by $R^+, R^-$.
561 Construct $C$ which has $\pr$ removed.
562 Used for removing a branch dependency.

582 \[ \eqn{ Currently Included }{
586 \subsection{Ordering of Ingredients:}
588 By Unique Tip, $R^+ \le L$. By definition of $\base$, $R^- \le R^+$
589 so $R^- \le L$. So $R^+ \le C$ and $R^- \le C$.
592 (Note that $R^+ \not\le R^-$, i.e. the merge base
593 is a descendant, not an ancestor, of the 2nd parent.)
595 \subsection{No Replay}
597 By definition of $\merge$,
598 $D \isin C \implies D \isin L \lor D \isin R^- \lor D = C$.
599 So, by Ordering of Ingredients,
600 Ingredients Prevent Replay applies. $\qed$
602 \subsection{Desired Contents}
604 \[ D \isin C \equiv [ D \notin \pry \land D \isin L ] \lor D = C \]
607 \subsubsection{For $D = C$:}
609 Trivially $D \isin C$. OK.
611 \subsubsection{For $D \neq C, D \not\le L$:}
613 By No Replay $D \not\isin L$. Also $D \not\le R^-$ hence
614 $D \not\isin R^-$. Thus $D \not\isin C$. OK.
616 \subsubsection{For $D \neq C, D \le L, D \in \pry$:}
618 By Currently Included, $D \isin L$.
620 By Tip Self Inpatch, $D \isin R^+ \equiv D \le R^+$, but by
621 by Unique Tip, $D \le R^+ \equiv D \le L$.
624 By Base Acyclic, $D \not\isin R^-$.
626 Apply $\merge$: $D \not\isin C$. OK.
628 \subsubsection{For $D \neq C, D \le L, D \notin \pry$:}
630 By Tip Contents for $R^+$, $D \isin R^+ \equiv D \isin R^-$.
632 Apply $\merge$: $D \isin C \equiv D \isin L$. OK.

638 Into Base means that $C \in \pn$, so Unique Base is not
641 \subsection{Tip Contents}
643 Again, not applicable. $\qed$
645 \subsection{Base Acyclic}
647 By Base Acyclic for $L$, $D \isin L \implies D \not\in \py$.
648 And by Into Base $C \not\in \py$.
649 Now from Desired Contents, above, $D \isin C
650 \implies D \isin L \lor D = C$, which thus
651 $\implies D \not\in \py$. $\qed$.
653 \subsection{Coherence and Patch Inclusion}
655 Need to consider some $D \in \py$. By Into Base, $D \neq C$.
657 \subsubsection{For $\p = \pr$:}
658 By Desired Contents, above, $D \not\isin C$.
659 So $C \nothaspatch \pr$.
661 \subsubsection{For $\p \neq \pr$:}
662 By Desired Contents, $D \isin C \equiv D \isin L$
663 (since $D \in \py$ so $D \not\in \pry$).
665 If $L \nothaspatch \p$, $D \not\isin L$ so $D \not\isin C$.
666 So $L \nothaspatch \p \implies C \nothaspatch \p$.
668 Whereas if $L \haspatch \p$, $D \isin L \equiv D \le L$.
669 so $L \haspatch \p \implies C \haspatch \p$.
673 \subsection{Foreign Inclusion}
675 Consider some $D$ s.t. $\patchof{D} = \bot$. $D \neq C$.
676 So by Desired Contents $D \isin C \equiv D \isin L$.
677 By Foreign Inclusion of $D$ in $L$, $D \isin L \equiv D \le L$.
679 And $D \le C \equiv D \le L$.
680 Thus $D \isin C \equiv D \le C$.

742 branch without Topbloke's assistance, it is also forbidden to
743 merge any Topbloke-controlled branch into any plain git branch.
745 Given those conditions, Tip Merge and Merge Acyclic do not apply.
746 And $Y \not\in \py$ so $\neg [ Y \haspatch \p ]$ so neither
747 Merge Ends condition applies.
749 So a plain git merge of non-Topbloke branches meets the conditions and
750 is therefore consistent with our scheme.
752 \subsection{No Replay}
754 By definition of $\merge$,
755 $D \isin C \implies D \isin L \lor D \isin R \lor D = C$.
757 Ingredients Prevent Replay applies. $\qed$
759 \subsection{Unique Base}
761 Need to consider only $C \in \py$, ie $L \in \py$,
762 and calculate $\pendsof{C}{\pn}$. So we will consider some
763 putative ancestor $A \in \pn$ and see whether $A \le C$.
765 By Exact Ancestors for C, $A \le C \equiv A \le L \lor A \le R \lor A = C$.
766 But $C \in py$ and $A \in \pn$ so $A \neq C$.
767 Thus $A \le C \equiv A \le L \lor A \le R$.
769 By Unique Base of L and Transitive Ancestors,
770 $A \le L \equiv A \le \baseof{L}$.
772 \subsubsection{For $R \in \py$:}
774 By Unique Base of $R$ and Transitive Ancestors,
775 $A \le R \equiv A \le \baseof{R}$.
777 But by Tip Merge condition on $\baseof{R}$,
778 $A \le \baseof{L} \implies A \le \baseof{R}$, so
779 $A \le \baseof{R} \lor A \le \baseof{L} \equiv A \le \baseof{R}$.
780 Thus $A \le C \equiv A \le \baseof{R}$.
781 That is, $\baseof{C} = \baseof{R}$.
783 \subsubsection{For $R \in \pn$:}
785 By Tip Merge condition on $R$ and since $M \le R$,
786 $A \le \baseof{L} \implies A \le R$, so
787 $A \le R \lor A \le \baseof{L} \equiv A \le R$.
788 Thus $A \le C \equiv A \le R$.
789 That is, $\baseof{C} = R$.
793 \subsection{Coherence and Patch Inclusion}
795 Need to determine $C \haspatch \p$ based on $L,M,R \haspatch \p$.
796 This involves considering $D \in \py$.
798 \subsubsection{For $L \nothaspatch \p, R \nothaspatch \p$:}
799 $D \not\isin L \land D \not\isin R$. $C \not\in \py$ (otherwise $L
800 \in \py$ ie $L \haspatch \p$ by Tip Self Inpatch). So $D \neq C$.
801 Applying $\merge$ gives $D \not\isin C$ i.e. $C \nothaspatch \p$.
803 \subsubsection{For $L \haspatch \p, R \haspatch \p$:}
804 $D \isin L \equiv D \le L$ and $D \isin R \equiv D \le R$.
805 (Likewise $D \isin X \equiv D \le X$ and $D \isin Y \equiv D \le Y$.)
807 Consider $D = C$: $D \isin C$, $D \le C$, OK for $C \haspatch \p$.
809 For $D \neq C$: $D \le C \equiv D \le L \lor D \le R
810 \equiv D \isin L \lor D \isin R$.
811 (Likewise $D \le C \equiv D \le X \lor D \le Y$.)
813 Consider $D \neq C, D \isin X \land D \isin Y$:
814 By $\merge$, $D \isin C$. Also $D \le X$
815 so $D \le C$. OK for $C \haspatch \p$.
817 Consider $D \neq C, D \not\isin X \land D \not\isin Y$:
818 By $\merge$, $D \not\isin C$.
819 And $D \not\le X \land D \not\le Y$ so $D \not\le C$.
820 OK for $C \haspatch \p$.
822 Remaining case, wlog, is $D \not\isin X \land D \isin Y$.
823 $D \not\le X$ so $D \not\le M$ so $D \not\isin M$.
824 Thus by $\merge$, $D \isin C$. And $D \le Y$ so $D \le C$.
825 OK for $C \haspatch \p$.
827 So indeed $L \haspatch \p \land R \haspatch \p \implies C \haspatch \p$.
829 \subsubsection{For (wlog) $X \not\haspatch \p, Y \haspatch \p$:}
831 $M \haspatch \p \implies C \nothaspatch \p$.
832 $M \nothaspatch \p \implies C \haspatch \p$.
836 One of the Merge Ends conditions applies.
837 Recall that we are considering $D \in \py$.
838 $D \isin Y \equiv D \le Y$. $D \not\isin X$.
839 We will show for each of
840 various cases that $D \isin C \equiv M \nothaspatch \p \land D \le C$
841 (which suffices by definition of $\haspatch$ and $\nothaspatch$).
843 Consider $D = C$: Thus $C \in \py, L \in \py$, and by Tip
844 Self Inpatch $L \haspatch \p$, so $L=Y, R=X$. By Tip Merge,
845 $M=\baseof{L}$. So by Base Acyclic $D \not\isin M$, i.e.
846 $M \nothaspatch \p$. And indeed $D \isin C$ and $D \le C$. OK.
848 Consider $D \neq C, M \nothaspatch P, D \isin Y$:
849 $D \le Y$ so $D \le C$.
850 $D \not\isin M$ so by $\merge$, $D \isin C$. OK.
852 Consider $D \neq C, M \nothaspatch P, D \not\isin Y$:
853 $D \not\le Y$. If $D \le X$ then
854 $D \in \pancsof{X}{\py}$, so by Addition Merge Ends and
855 Transitive Ancestors $D \le Y$ --- a contradiction, so $D \not\le X$.
856 Thus $D \not\le C$. By $\merge$, $D \not\isin C$. OK.
858 Consider $D \neq C, M \haspatch P, D \isin Y$:
859 $D \le Y$ so $D \in \pancsof{Y}{\py}$ so by Removal Merge Ends
860 and Transitive Ancestors $D \in \pancsof{M}{\py}$ so $D \le M$.
861 Thus $D \isin M$. By $\merge$, $D \not\isin C$. OK.
863 Consider $D \neq C, M \haspatch P, D \not\isin Y$:
864 By $\merge$, $D \not\isin C$. OK.
868 \subsection{Base Acyclic}
870 This applies when $C \in \pn$.
871 $C \in \pn$ when $L \in \pn$ so by Merge Acyclic, $R \nothaspatch \p$.
873 Consider some $D \in \py$.
875 By Base Acyclic of $L$, $D \not\isin L$. By the above, $D \not\isin
876 R$. And $D \neq C$. So $D \not\isin C$.
880 \subsection{Tip Contents}
882 We need worry only about $C \in \py$.
883 And $\patchof{C} = \patchof{L}$
884 so $L \in \py$ so $L \haspatch \p$. We will use the Unique Base
885 of $C$, and its Coherence and Patch Inclusion, as just proved.
887 Firstly we show $C \haspatch \p$: If $R \in \py$, then $R \haspatch
888 \p$ and by Coherence/Inclusion $C \haspatch \p$ . If $R \not\in \py$
889 then by Tip Merge $M = \baseof{L}$ so by Base Acyclic and definition
890 of $\nothaspatch$, $M \nothaspatch \p$. So by Coherence/Inclusion $C
891 \haspatch \p$ (whether $R \haspatch \p$ or $\nothaspatch$).
893 We will consider an arbitrary commit $D$
894 and prove the Exclusive Tip Contents form.
896 \subsubsection{For $D \in \py$:}
897 $C \haspatch \p$ so by definition of $\haspatch$, $D \isin C \equiv D
900 \subsubsection{For $D \not\in \py, R \not\in \py$:}
902 $D \neq C$. By Tip Contents of $L$,
903 $D \isin L \equiv D \isin \baseof{L}$, and by Tip Merge condition,
904 $D \isin L \equiv D \isin M$. So by definition of $\merge$, $D \isin
905 C \equiv D \isin R$. And $R = \baseof{C}$ by Unique Base of $C$.
906 Thus $D \isin C \equiv D \isin \baseof{C}$. OK.
908 \subsubsection{For $D \not\in \py, R \in \py$:}
913 $D \isin L \equiv D \isin \baseof{L}$ and
914 $D \isin R \equiv D \isin \baseof{R}$.
916 If $\baseof{L} = M$, trivially $D \isin M \equiv D \isin \baseof{L}.$
917 Whereas if $\baseof{L} = \baseof{M}$, by definition of $\base$,
918 $\patchof{M} = \patchof{L} = \py$, so by Tip Contents of $M$,
919 $D \isin M \equiv D \isin \baseof{M} \equiv D \isin \baseof{L}$.
921 So $D \isin M \equiv D \isin L$ and by $\merge$,
922 $D \isin C \equiv D \isin R$. But from Unique Base,
923 $\baseof{C} = R$ so $D \isin C \equiv D \isin \baseof{C}$. OK.
927 \subsection{Foreign Inclusion}
929 Consider some $D$ s.t. $\patchof{D} = \bot$.
930 By Foreign Inclusion of $L, M, R$:
931 $D \isin L \equiv D \le L$;
932 $D \isin M \equiv D \le M$;
933 $D \isin R \equiv D \le R$.
935 \subsubsection{For $D = C$:}
937 $D \isin C$ and $D \le C$. OK.
939 \subsubsection{For $D \neq C, D \isin M$:}
941 Thus $D \le M$ so $D \le L$ and $D \le R$ so $D \isin L$ and $D \isin
942 R$. So by $\merge$, $D \isin C$. And $D \le C$. OK.
944 \subsubsection{For $D \neq C, D \not\isin M, D \isin X$:}
946 By $\merge$, $D \isin C$.
947 And $D \isin X$ means $D \le X$ so $D \le C$.
950 \subsubsection{For $D \neq C, D \not\isin M, D \not\isin L, D \not\isin R$:}
952 By $\merge$, $D \not\isin C$.
953 And $D \not\le L, D \not\le R$ so $D \not\le C$.
958 \subsection{Foreign Contents}
960 Only relevant if $\patchof{L} = \bot$, in which case
961 $\patchof{C} = \bot$ and by Foreign Merges $\patchof{R} = \bot$,
962 so Totally Foreign Contents applies. $\qed$
