$\bigcup_{\p \in \allpatches} \set H^{\pn} \cup \set H^{\py}$.
All the input commits to the update algorithm. (See below.)
+\item[ $\set H^{\pc^{_=/-}}$ ]
+
+The existing head commit(s) $\set H$ of the branch $\pc^{+/-}$.
+These are the heads which will be merged and used in this update.
+This will include the current local and remote git refs, as desired.
+Obtained from the function $h$ (see below).

%\item[ $\set E_{\pc}$ ]
%$ \bigcup_i \pendsof{S_{\pc,i}}{\pc} $.
%All the ends of $\pc$ in the sources.
\item[ $h : \pc^{+/-} \mapsto \set H^{\pc^{+/-}}$ ]
Function for getting the existing heads $\set H$ of the branch $\pc^{+/-}$.
-These are the heads which will be merged and used in this update.
-This will include the current local and remote git refs, as desired.
\item[ $g : \pc, \Gamma \mapsto \Gamma'$ ]
Function to allow explicit adjustment of the direct dependencies
