A partial function from commits to commits.
See Unique Base, below.
+\item[ $ C \nothaspatch \p $ ]
+$\displaystyle \bigforall_{D \in \py} D \not\isin C $.
+~ Informally, $C$ has none of the contents of $\p$.
+
\item[ $ C \zhaspatch \p $ ]
$\displaystyle \bigforall_{D \in \py} D \isin C \equiv D \le C $.
~ Informally, $C$ has all the reachable contents of $\p$.
\item[ $ C \haspatch \p $ ]
-$\displaystyle C \zhaspatch \p \land \exists_{D \in \py} D \le C $.
+$\displaystyle C \zhaspatch \p \land \exists_{F \in \py} F \le C $.
~ Informally, $C$ nontrivially has all the reachable contents of $\p$.
-\item[ $ C \nothaspatch \p $ ]
-$\displaystyle \bigforall_{D \in \py} D \not\isin C $.
-~ Informally, $C$ has none of the contents of $\p$.

Note that $\zhaspatch$ and $\nothaspatch$ are not mutually exclusive.
$\haspatch$ and $\nothaspatch$ are.
