+\section{Simple commit}
+
+A simple single-parent forward commit $C$ as made by git-commit.
+\begin{gather}
+\tag*{} C \hasparents \{ A \} \\
+\tag*{} \patchof{C} = \patchof{A} \\
+\tag*{} D \isin C \equiv D \isin A \lor D = C
+\end{gather}
+
+\subsection{No Replay}
+Trivial.
+
+\subsection{Unique Base}
+If $A, C \in \py$ then $\baseof{C} = \baseof{A}$. $\qed$
+
+\subsection{Tip Contents}
+We need to consider only $A, C \in \py$. From Tip Contents for $A$:
+\[ D \isin A \equiv D \isin \baseof{A} \lor ( D \in \py \land D \le A ) \]
+Substitute into the contents of $C$:
+\[ D \isin C \equiv D \isin \baseof{A} \lor ( D \in \py \land D \le A )
+ \lor D = C \]
+Since $D = C \implies D \in \py$,
+and substituting in $\baseof{C}$, this gives:
+\[ D \isin C \equiv D \isin \baseof{C} \lor
+ (D \in \py \land D \le A) \lor
+ (D = C \land D \in \py) \]
+\[ \equiv D \isin \baseof{C} \lor
+ [ D \in \py \land ( D \le A \lor D = C ) ] \]
+So by Exact Ancestors:
+\[ D \isin C \equiv D \isin \baseof{C} \lor ( D \in \py \land D \le C
+) \]
+$\qed$
+
+\subsection{Base Acyclic}
+
+Need to consider only $A, C \in \pn$.
+
+For $D = C$: $D \in \pn$ so $D \not\in \py$. OK.
+
+For $D \neq C$: $D \isin C \equiv D \isin A$, so by Base Acyclic for
+$A$, $D \isin C \implies D \not\in \py$. $\qed$
+
+\subsection{Coherence and patch inclusion}
+
+Need to consider $D \in \py$
+
+\subsubsection{For $A \haspatch P, D = C$:}
+
+Ancestors of $C$:
+$ D \le C $.
+
+Contents of $C$:
+$ D \isin C \equiv \ldots \lor \true \text{ so } D \haspatch C $.
+
+\subsubsection{For $A \haspatch P, D \neq C$:}
+Ancestors: $ D \le C \equiv D \le A $.
+
+Contents: $ D \isin C \equiv D \isin A \lor f $
+so $ D \isin C \equiv D \isin A $.
+
+So:
+\[ A \haspatch P \implies C \haspatch P \]
+
+\subsubsection{For $A \nothaspatch P$:}
+
+Firstly, $C \not\in \py$ since if it were, $A \in \py$.
+Thus $D \neq C$.
+
+Now by contents of $A$, $D \notin A$, so $D \notin C$.
+
+So:
+\[ A \nothaspatch P \implies C \nothaspatch P \]
+$\qed$
+
+\subsection{Foreign inclusion:}
+
+If $D = C$, trivial. For $D \neq C$:
+$D \isin C \equiv D \isin A \equiv D \le A \equiv D \le C$. $\qed$
+
+\section{Anticommit}
+
+Given $L, R^+, R^-$ where
+$R^+ \in \pry, R^- = \baseof{R^+}$.
+Construct $C$ which has $\pr$ removed.
+Used for removing a branch dependency.
+\gathbegin
+ C \hasparents \{ L \}
+\gathnext
+ \patchof{C} = \patchof{L}
+\gathnext

+\subsection{Conditions}
+
+\[ \eqn{ Unique Tip }{
+ \pendsof{L}{\pry} = \{ R^+ \}

+\[ \eqn{ Currently Included }{
+ L \haspatch \pry

+
+\subsection{Desired Contents}
+
+xxx need to prove $D \isin C \equiv D \not\in \pry \land D \isin L$.
+
+\subsection{No Replay}
+
+By Unique Tip, $R^+ \le L$. By definition of $\base$, $R^- \le R^+$
+so $R^- \le L$. So $R^+ \le C$ and $R^- \le C$ and No Replay for
+Merge Results applies. $\qed$

+Need to consider only $C \in \py$, ie $L \in \py$.

+\section{Merge}
+
+Merge commits $L$ and $R$ using merge base $M$ ($M < L, M < R$):
+\gathbegin
+ C \hasparents \{ L, R \}
+\gathnext
+ \patchof{C} = \patchof{L}
+\gathnext
+ \merge{C}{L}{M}{R}
+\end{gather}
+
+\subsection{Conditions}
+
+\[ \eqn{ Tip Merge }{
+ L \in \py \implies
+ \begin{cases}
+ R \in \py : & \baseof{R} \ge \baseof{L}
+ \land [\baseof{L} = M \lor \baseof{L} = \baseof{M}] \\
+ R \in \pn : & R \ge \baseof{L}
+ \land M = \baseof{L} \\
+ \text{otherwise} : & \false
+ \end{cases}

+\subsection{No Replay}
+
+See No Replay for Merge Results.
+
+\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,
+$A \le L \equiv A \le \baseof{L}$.
