+\item[ $ C \hasparents \set X $ ]
+The parents of commit $C$ are exactly the set
$\set X$.
-$ C \ge D $ $C$ is a descendant of $D$ in the git commit
+\item[ $ C \ge D $ ]
+$C$ is a descendant of $D$ in the git commit
graph. This is a partial order, namely the transitive closure of
$ D \in \set X $ where $ C \hasparents \set X $.
-$ C \has D $ Informally, the tree at commit $C$ contains the change
+\item[ $ C \has D $ ]
+Informally, the tree at commit $C$ contains the change
made in commit $D$. Does not take account of deliberate reversions by
the user or in non-Topbloke-controlled branches; these are considered
normal, forward, commits. For merges and Topbloke-generated
conflict resolution. This is not a partial order because it is not
transitive.
+\item[ $ \p, \py, \pn $ ]
+A patch $\p$ consists of two sets of commits $\pn$ and $\py$, which
+are respectively the base and tip git branches. $\p$ may be used
+where the context requires a set, in which case the statement
+is to be taken as applying to both $\py$ and $\pn$
+All these sets are distinct.
