+\[ \eqn{ Currently Included }{

+
+\subsection{Ordering of Ingredients:}
+
+By Unique Tip, $R^+ \le L$.  By definition of $\base$, $R^- \le R^+$
+so $R^- \le L$.  So $R^+ \le C$ and $R^- \le C$.
+$\qed$
+
+(Note that $R^+ \not\le R^-$, i.e. the merge base
+is a descendant, not an ancestor, of the 2nd parent.)
+
+\subsection{No Replay}
+
+By $\merge$,
+$D \isin C \implies D \isin L \lor D \isin R^- \lor D = C$.
+So, by Ordering of Ingredients,
+Ingredients Prevent Replay applies.  $\qed$
+
+\subsection{Desired Contents}
+
+\[ D \isin C \equiv [ D \notin \pry \land D \isin L ] \lor D = C \]
+\proofstarts
+
+\subsubsection{For $D = C$:}
+
+Trivially $D \isin C$.  OK.
+
+\subsubsection{For $D \neq C, D \not\le L$:}
+
+By No Replay for $L$, $D \not\isin L$.
+Also, by Ordering of Ingredients, $D \not\le R^-$ hence
+$D \not\isin R^-$.  Thus $D \not\isin C$.  OK.
+
+\subsubsection{For $D \neq C, D \le L, D \in \pry$:}
+
+By Currently Included, $D \isin L$.
+
+By Tip Self Inpatch for $R^+$, $D \isin R^+ \equiv D \le R^+$, but by
+by Unique Tip, $D \le R^+ \equiv D \le L$.
+So $D \isin R^+$.
+
+By Base Acyclic for $R^-$, $D \not\isin R^-$.
+
+Apply $\merge$: $D \not\isin C$.  OK.
+
+\subsubsection{For $D \neq C, D \le L, D \notin \pry$:}
+
+By Tip Contents for $R^+$, $D \isin R^+ \equiv D \isin R^-$.
+
+Apply $\merge$: $D \isin C \equiv D \isin L$.  OK.
+
+$\qed$
+
+\subsection{Unique Base}
+
+Into Base means that $C \in \pqn$, so Unique Base is not
+applicable. $\qed$
+
+\subsection{Tip Contents}
+
+Again, not applicable. $\qed$
+
+\subsection{Base Acyclic}
+
+By Into Base and Base Acyclic for $L$, $D \isin L \implies D \not\in \pqy$.
+And by Into Base $C \not\in \pqy$.
+Now from Desired Contents, above, $D \isin C
+\implies D \isin L \lor D = C$, which thus
+$\implies D \not\in \pqy$.  $\qed$.
+
+\subsection{Coherence and Patch Inclusion}
+
+Need to consider some $D \in \py$.  By Into Base, $D \neq C$.
+
+\subsubsection{For $\p = \pr$:}
+By Desired Contents, above, $D \not\isin C$.
+So $C \nothaspatch \pr$.
+
+\subsubsection{For $\p \neq \pr$:}
+By Desired Contents, $D \isin C \equiv D \isin L$
+(since $D \in \py$ so $D \not\in \pry$).
+
+If $L \nothaspatch \p$, $D \not\isin L$ so $D \not\isin C$.
+So $L \nothaspatch \p \implies C \nothaspatch \p$.
+
+Whereas if $L \haspatch \p$, $D \isin L \equiv D \le L$.
+so $L \haspatch \p \implies C \haspatch \p$.
+
+$\qed$
+
+\subsection{Foreign Inclusion}
+
+Consider some $D$ s.t. $\patchof{D} = \bot$.  $D \neq C$.
+So by Desired Contents $D \isin C \equiv D \isin L$.
+By Foreign Inclusion of $D$ in $L$, $D \isin L \equiv D \le L$.
+
+And $D \le C \equiv D \le L$.
+Thus $D \isin C \equiv D \le C$.
+
+$\qed$
+
+\subsection{Foreign Contents}

-\item[ $ C \hasparents \set X $ ]
-The parents of commit $C$ are exactly the set
-$\set X$.
-
-\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 $.
-
-\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 reversion, rebasing or rewinding in
-non-Topbloke-controlled branches.  For merges and Topbloke-generated
-anticommits or re-commits, the ``change made'' is only to be thought
-of as any 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 of these sets are disjoint.  Hence:
-
-\item[ $ \patchof{ C } $ ]
-Either $\p$ s.t. $ C \in \p $, or $\bot$.
-A function from commits to patches' sets $\p$.
-
-\item[ $ \pancsof{C}{\set P} $ ]
-$ \{ A \; | \; A \le C \land A \in \set P \} $
-i.e. all the ancestors of $C$
-which are in $\set P$.

-$ \{ E \; | \; E \in \pancsof{C}{\set P}
-  \land \mathop{\not\exists}_{A \in \pancsof{C}{\set P}}
-  E \neq A \land E \le A \} $
-i.e. all $\le$-maximal commits in $\pancsof{C}{\set P}$.
-
-\item[ $ \baseof{C} $ ]
-$ \pendsof{C}{\pn} = \{ \baseof{C} \} $ where $ C \in \py $.
-A partial function from commits to commits.
-See Unique Base, below.
-
-\item[ $ C \haspatch \p $ ]
-$\displaystyle \bigforall_{D \in \py} D \isin C \equiv D \le C $.
-~ Informally, $C$ 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 $\p$.
-
-Commits on Non-Topbloke branches are $\nothaspatch \p$ for all $\p$.  This
-includes commits on plain git branches made by applying a Topbloke
-patch.  If a Topbloke
-patch is applied to a non-Topbloke branch and then bubbles back to
-the relevant Topbloke branches, we hope that
-if the user still cares about the Topbloke patch,
-git's merge algorithm will DTRT when trying to re-apply the changes.
-
-\item[ $\displaystyle \mergeof{C}{L}{M}{R} $ ]
-The contents of a git merge result:
-
-$\displaystyle D \isin C \equiv
-  \begin{cases}

-  \bigforall_{C \in \py}
-    \neg \Bigl[ D \isin \baseof{C} \land ( D \in \py \land D \le C )
-      \Bigr]
-$$
-Ie, the two limbs of the RHS of Tip Contents are mutually exclusive.
-
-\proof{
-Let $B = \baseof{C}$ in $D \isin \baseof{C}$.  Now $B \in \pn$.
-So by Base Acyclic $D \isin B \implies D \notin \py$.

-  D \le C \equiv
-    ( \mathop{\hbox{\huge{$\vee$}}}_{R \in \set R} D \le R )
-    \lor D = C

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

-\subsection{Calculation of Ends}

-       \right\}
-      \end{cases}
-$$
-\proof{
-Trivial for $C \in \set P$.  For $C \not\in \set P$,
-$\pancsof{C}{\set P} = \bigcup_{A \in \set A} \pancsof{A}{\set P}$.
-So $\pendsof{C}{\set P} \subset \bigcup_{E in \set E} \pendsof{E}{\set P}$.
-Consider some $E \in \pendsof{A}{\set P}$.  If $\exists_{B,F}$ as
-specified, then either $F$ is going to be in our result and
-disqualifies $E$, or there is some other $F'$ (or, eventually,
-an $F''$) which disqualifies $F$.
-Otherwise, $E$ meets all the conditions for $\pends$.

-is in stated
-(in terms of $I \haspatch \pq$ or $I \nothaspatch \pq$
-for the ingredients $I$)
-in the proof of Coherence for each kind of commit.
-
-$\pendsof{C}{\pq^+}$ is computed, for all Topbloke-generated commits,
-using the lemma Calculation of Ends, above.
-We do not annotate $\pendsof{C}{\py}$ for $C \in \py$.  Doing so would
-make it wrong to make plain commits with git because the recorded $\pends$
-would have to be updated.  The annotation is not needed in that case
-because $\forall_{\py \ni C} \; \pendsof{C}{\py} = \{C\}$.
-
-\section{Simple commit}
-
-A simple single-parent forward commit $C$ as made by git-commit.
-\begin{gather}
-\tag*{} C \hasparents \{ L \} \\
-\tag*{} \patchof{C} = \patchof{L} \\
-\tag*{} D \isin C \equiv D \isin L \lor D = C
-\end{gather}
-This also covers Topbloke-generated commits on plain git branches:
-Topbloke strips the metadata when exporting.
-
-\subsection{No Replay}
-
-Ingredients Prevent Replay applies.  $\qed$
-
-\subsection{Unique Base}
-If $L, C \in \py$ then by Calculation of Ends,
-$\pendsof{C}{\pn} = \pendsof{L}{\pn}$ so
-$\baseof{C} = \baseof{L}$. $\qed$
-
-\subsection{Tip Contents}
-We need to consider only $L, C \in \py$.  From Tip Contents for $L$:
-\[ D \isin L \equiv D \isin \baseof{L} \lor ( D \in \py \land D \le L ) \]
-Substitute into the contents of $C$:
-\[ D \isin C \equiv D \isin \baseof{L} \lor ( D \in \py \land D \le L )
-    \lor D = C \]
-Since $D = C \implies D \in \py$,
-and substituting in $\baseof{C}$, from Unique Base above, this gives:
-\[ D \isin C \equiv D \isin \baseof{C} \lor
-    (D \in \py \land D \le L) \lor
-    (D = C \land D \in \py) \]
-\[ \equiv D \isin \baseof{C} \lor
-   [ D \in \py \land ( D \le L \lor D = C ) ] \]
-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 $L, C \in \pn$.
-
-For $D = C$: $D \in \pn$ so $D \not\in \py$. OK.
-
-For $D \neq C$: $D \isin C \equiv D \isin L$, so by Base Acyclic for
-$L$, $D \isin C \implies D \not\in \py$.
-
-$\qed$
-
-\subsection{Coherence and patch inclusion}

-Need to consider $D \in \py$

-\subsubsection{For $L \haspatch P, D = C$:}
-
-Ancestors of $C$:
-$ D \le C $.

-Given $L$ which contains $\pr$ as represented by $R^+, R^-$.

-\gathnext

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

-\[ \eqn{ Currently Included }{

-
-\subsection{Ordering of Ingredients:}
-
-By Unique Tip, $R^+ \le L$.  By definition of $\base$, $R^- \le R^+$
-so $R^- \le L$.  So $R^+ \le C$ and $R^- \le C$.
-$\qed$
-
-(Note that $R^+ \not\le R^-$, i.e. the merge base
-is a descendant, not an ancestor, of the 2nd parent.)
-
-\subsection{No Replay}
-
-By $\merge$,
-$D \isin C \implies D \isin L \lor D \isin R^- \lor D = C$.
-So, by Ordering of Ingredients,
-Ingredients Prevent Replay applies.  $\qed$
-
-\subsection{Desired Contents}

-\proofstarts

-
-Trivially $D \isin C$.  OK.
-
-\subsubsection{For $D \neq C, D \not\le L$:}
-
-By No Replay for $L$, $D \not\isin L$.
-Also, by Ordering of Ingredients, $D \not\le R^-$ hence
-$D \not\isin R^-$.  Thus $D \not\isin C$.  OK.
-
-\subsubsection{For $D \neq C, D \le L, D \in \pry$:}
-
-By Currently Included, $D \isin L$.
-
-By Tip Self Inpatch for $R^+$, $D \isin R^+ \equiv D \le R^+$, but by
-by Unique Tip, $D \le R^+ \equiv D \le L$.
-So $D \isin R^+$.
-
-By Base Acyclic for $R^-$, $D \not\isin R^-$.
-
-Apply $\merge$: $D \not\isin C$.  OK.
-
-\subsubsection{For $D \neq C, D \le L, D \notin \pry$:}
-
-By Tip Contents for $R^+$, $D \isin R^+ \equiv D \isin R^-$.
-
-Apply $\merge$: $D \isin C \equiv D \isin L$.  OK.
-
-$\qed$

-Into Base means that $C \in \pqn$, so Unique Base is not

-\subsection{Base Acyclic}
-
-By Into Base and Base Acyclic for $L$, $D \isin L \implies D \not\in \pqy$.
-And by Into Base $C \not\in \pqy$.
-Now from Desired Contents, above, $D \isin C
-\implies D \isin L \lor D = C$, which thus
-$\implies D \not\in \pqy$.  $\qed$.
-
-\subsection{Coherence and Patch Inclusion}
-
-Need to consider some $D \in \py$.  By Into Base, $D \neq C$.
-
-\subsubsection{For $\p = \pr$:}
-By Desired Contents, above, $D \not\isin C$.
-So $C \nothaspatch \pr$.
-
-\subsubsection{For $\p \neq \pr$:}
-By Desired Contents, $D \isin C \equiv D \isin L$
-(since $D \in \py$ so $D \not\in \pry$).
-
-If $L \nothaspatch \p$, $D \not\isin L$ so $D \not\isin C$.
-So $L \nothaspatch \p \implies C \nothaspatch \p$.
-
-Whereas if $L \haspatch \p$, $D \isin L \equiv D \le L$.
-so $L \haspatch \p \implies C \haspatch \p$.
-
-$\qed$
-
-\subsection{Foreign Inclusion}
-
-Consider some $D$ s.t. $\patchof{D} = \bot$.  $D \neq C$.
-So by Desired Contents $D \isin C \equiv D \isin L$.
-By Foreign Inclusion of $D$ in $L$, $D \isin L \equiv D \le L$.
-
-And $D \le C \equiv D \le L$.
-Thus $D \isin C \equiv D \le C$.
-
-$\qed$

-\subsection{Foreign Contents}

-\section{Merge}
-
-Merge commits $L$ and $R$ using merge base $M$:
-\gathbegin
- C \hasparents \{ L, R \}
-\gathnext
- \patchof{C} = \patchof{L}
-\gathnext
- \mergeof{C}{L}{M}{R}
-\end{gather}
-We will occasionally use $X,Y$ s.t. $\{X,Y\} = \{L,R\}$.
-
-This can also be used for dependency re-insertion, by setting
-$L \in \pn$, $R \in \pry$, $M = \baseof{R}$.
-
-\subsection{Conditions}
-\[ \eqn{ Ingredients }{
- M \le L, M \le R
-}\]
-\[ \eqn{ Tip Merge }{
- L \in \py \implies
-   \begin{cases}
-      R \in \py : & \baseof{R} \ge \baseof{L}
-              \land [\baseof{L} = M \lor \baseof{L} = \baseof{M}] \\
-      R \in \pn : & M = \baseof{L} \\
-      \text{otherwise} : & \false
-   \end{cases}
-}\]
-\[ \eqn{ Merge Acyclic }{
-    L \in \pn
-   \implies
-    R \nothaspatch \p
-}\]
-\[ \eqn{ Removal Merge Ends }{
-    X \not\haspatch \p \land
-    M \haspatch \p \land
-    Y \haspatch \p
-  \implies
-    \pendsof{Y}{\py} = \pendsof{M}{\py}
-}\]
-\[ \eqn{ Addition Merge Ends }{
-    X \not\haspatch \p \land
-    M \nothaspatch \p \land
-    Y \haspatch \p
-   \implies \left[
-    \bigforall_{E \in \pendsof{X}{\py}} E \le Y
-   \right]
-}\]
-\[ \eqn{ Foreign Merges }{
-    \patchof{L} = \bot \equiv \patchof{R} = \bot
-}\]
-
-\subsection{Non-Topbloke merges}
-
-We require both $\patchof{L} = \bot$ and $\patchof{R} = \bot$
-(Foreign Merges, above).
-I.e. not only is it forbidden to merge into a Topbloke-controlled
-branch without Topbloke's assistance, it is also forbidden to
-merge any Topbloke-controlled branch into any plain git branch.
-
-Given those conditions, Tip Merge and Merge Acyclic do not apply.
-And $Y \not\in \py$ so $\neg [ Y \haspatch \p ]$ so neither
-Merge Ends condition applies.
-
-So a plain git merge of non-Topbloke branches meets the conditions and
-is therefore consistent with our model.
-
-\subsection{No Replay}
-
-By definition of $\merge$,
-$D \isin C \implies D \isin L \lor D \isin R \lor D = C$.
-So, by Ingredients,
-Ingredients Prevent Replay applies.  $\qed$
-
-\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,
-$A \le L \equiv A \le \baseof{L}$.
-
-\subsubsection{For $R \in \py$:}
-
-By Unique Base of $R$ and Transitive Ancestors,
-$A \le R \equiv A \le \baseof{R}$.
-
-But by Tip Merge condition on $\baseof{R}$,
-$A \le \baseof{L} \implies A \le \baseof{R}$, so
-$A \le \baseof{R} \lor A \le \baseof{L} \equiv A \le \baseof{R}$.
-Thus $A \le C \equiv A \le \baseof{R}$.
-That is, $\baseof{C} = \baseof{R}$.
-
-\subsubsection{For $R \in \pn$:}
-
-By Tip Merge condition on $R$ and since $M \le R$,
-$A \le \baseof{L} \implies A \le R$, so
-$A \le R \lor A \le \baseof{L} \equiv A \le R$.
-Thus $A \le C \equiv A \le R$.
-That is, $\baseof{C} = R$.
-
-$\qed$
-
-\subsection{Coherence and Patch Inclusion}
-
-Need to determine $C \haspatch \p$ based on $L,M,R \haspatch \p$.
-This involves considering $D \in \py$.
-
-\subsubsection{For $L \nothaspatch \p, R \nothaspatch \p$:}
-$D \not\isin L \land D \not\isin R$.  $C \not\in \py$ (otherwise $L
-\in \py$ ie $L \haspatch \p$ by Tip Self Inpatch for $L$).  So $D \neq C$.
-Applying $\merge$ gives $D \not\isin C$ i.e. $C \nothaspatch \p$.
-
-\subsubsection{For $L \haspatch \p, R \haspatch \p$:}
-$D \isin L \equiv D \le L$ and $D \isin R \equiv D \le R$.
-(Likewise $D \isin X \equiv D \le X$ and $D \isin Y \equiv D \le Y$.)
-
-Consider $D = C$: $D \isin C$, $D \le C$, OK for $C \haspatch \p$.
-
-For $D \neq C$: $D \le C \equiv D \le L \lor D \le R
- \equiv D \isin L \lor D \isin R$.
-(Likewise $D \le C \equiv D \le X \lor D \le Y$.)
-
-Consider $D \neq C, D \isin X \land D \isin Y$:
-By $\merge$, $D \isin C$.  Also $D \le X$
-so $D \le C$.  OK for $C \haspatch \p$.
-
-Consider $D \neq C, D \not\isin X \land D \not\isin Y$:
-By $\merge$, $D \not\isin C$.
-And $D \not\le X \land D \not\le Y$ so $D \not\le C$.
-OK for $C \haspatch \p$.
-
-Remaining case, wlog, is $D \not\isin X \land D \isin Y$.
-$D \not\le X$ so $D \not\le M$ so $D \not\isin M$.
-Thus by $\merge$, $D \isin C$.  And $D \le Y$ so $D \le C$.
-OK for $C \haspatch \p$.
-
-So indeed $L \haspatch \p \land R \haspatch \p \implies C \haspatch \p$.
-
-\subsubsection{For (wlog) $X \not\haspatch \p, Y \haspatch \p$:}
-
-$M \haspatch \p \implies C \nothaspatch \p$.
-$M \nothaspatch \p \implies C \haspatch \p$.
-
-\proofstarts
-
-One of the Merge Ends conditions applies.
-Recall that we are considering $D \in \py$.
-$D \isin Y \equiv D \le Y$.  $D \not\isin X$.
-We will show for each of
-various cases that $D \isin C \equiv M \nothaspatch \p \land D \le C$
-(which suffices by definition of $\haspatch$ and $\nothaspatch$).
-
-Consider $D = C$:  Thus $C \in \py, L \in \py$, and by Tip
-Self Inpatch for $L$, $L \haspatch \p$, so $L=Y, R=X$.  By Tip Merge,
-$M=\baseof{L}$.  So by Base Acyclic $D \not\isin M$, i.e.
-$M \nothaspatch \p$.  And indeed $D \isin C$ and $D \le C$.  OK.
-
-Consider $D \neq C, M \nothaspatch P, D \isin Y$:
-$D \le Y$ so $D \le C$.
-$D \not\isin M$ so by $\merge$, $D \isin C$.  OK.
-
-Consider $D \neq C, M \nothaspatch P, D \not\isin Y$:
-$D \not\le Y$.  If $D \le X$ then
-$D \in \pancsof{X}{\py}$, so by Addition Merge Ends and
-Transitive Ancestors $D \le Y$ --- a contradiction, so $D \not\le X$.
-Thus $D \not\le C$.  By $\merge$, $D \not\isin C$.  OK.
-
-Consider $D \neq C, M \haspatch P, D \isin Y$:
-$D \le Y$ so $D \in \pancsof{Y}{\py}$ so by Removal Merge Ends
-and Transitive Ancestors $D \in \pancsof{M}{\py}$ so $D \le M$.
-Thus $D \isin M$.  By $\merge$, $D \not\isin C$.  OK.
-
-Consider $D \neq C, M \haspatch P, D \not\isin Y$:
-By $\merge$, $D \not\isin C$.  OK.
-
-$\qed$
-
-\subsection{Base Acyclic}
-
-This applies when $C \in \pn$.
-$C \in \pn$ when $L \in \pn$ so by Merge Acyclic, $R \nothaspatch \p$.
-
-Consider some $D \in \py$.
-
-By Base Acyclic of $L$, $D \not\isin L$.  By the above, $D \not\isin
-R$.  And $D \neq C$.  So $D \not\isin C$.
-
-$\qed$
-
-\subsection{Tip Contents}
-
-We need worry only about $C \in \py$.
-And $\patchof{C} = \patchof{L}$
-so $L \in \py$ so $L \haspatch \p$.  We will use the Unique Base
-of $C$, and its Coherence and Patch Inclusion, as just proved.
-
-Firstly we show $C \haspatch \p$: If $R \in \py$, then $R \haspatch
-\p$ and by Coherence/Inclusion $C \haspatch \p$ .  If $R \not\in \py$
-then by Tip Merge $M = \baseof{L}$ so by Base Acyclic and definition
-of $\nothaspatch$, $M \nothaspatch \p$.  So by Coherence/Inclusion $C
-\haspatch \p$ (whether $R \haspatch \p$ or $\nothaspatch$).
-
-We will consider an arbitrary commit $D$
-and prove the Exclusive Tip Contents form.
-
-\subsubsection{For $D \in \py$:}
-$C \haspatch \p$ so by definition of $\haspatch$, $D \isin C \equiv D
-\le C$.  OK.
-
-\subsubsection{For $D \not\in \py, R \not\in \py$:}
-
-$D \neq C$.  By Tip Contents of $L$,
-$D \isin L \equiv D \isin \baseof{L}$, and by Tip Merge condition,
-$D \isin L \equiv D \isin M$.  So by definition of $\merge$, $D \isin
-C \equiv D \isin R$.  And $R = \baseof{C}$ by Unique Base of $C$.
-Thus $D \isin C \equiv D \isin \baseof{C}$.  OK.
-
-\subsubsection{For $D \not\in \py, R \in \py$:}
-
-$D \neq C$.
-
-By Tip Contents
-$D \isin L \equiv D \isin \baseof{L}$ and
-$D \isin R \equiv D \isin \baseof{R}$.
-
-If $\baseof{L} = M$, trivially $D \isin M \equiv D \isin \baseof{L}.$
-Whereas if $\baseof{L} = \baseof{M}$, by definition of $\base$,
-$\patchof{M} = \patchof{L} = \py$, so by Tip Contents of $M$,
-$D \isin M \equiv D \isin \baseof{M} \equiv D \isin \baseof{L}$.
-
-So $D \isin M \equiv D \isin L$ and by $\merge$,
-$D \isin C \equiv D \isin R$.  But from Unique Base,
-$\baseof{C} = R$ so $D \isin C \equiv D \isin \baseof{C}$.  OK.
-
-$\qed$
-
-\subsection{Foreign Inclusion}
-
-Consider some $D$ s.t. $\patchof{D} = \bot$.
-By Foreign Inclusion of $L, M, R$:
-$D \isin L \equiv D \le L$;
-$D \isin M \equiv D \le M$;
-$D \isin R \equiv D \le R$.
-
-\subsubsection{For $D = C$:}
-
-$D \isin C$ and $D \le C$.  OK.
-
-\subsubsection{For $D \neq C, D \isin M$:}
-
-Thus $D \le M$ so $D \le L$ and $D \le R$ so $D \isin L$ and $D \isin
-R$.  So by $\merge$, $D \isin C$.  And $D \le C$.  OK.
-
-\subsubsection{For $D \neq C, D \not\isin M, D \isin X$:}
-
-By $\merge$, $D \isin C$.
-And $D \isin X$ means $D \le X$ so $D \le C$.
-OK.
-
-\subsubsection{For $D \neq C, D \not\isin M, D \not\isin L, D \not\isin R$:}
-
-By $\merge$, $D \not\isin C$.
-And $D \not\le L, D \not\le R$ so $D \not\le C$.
-OK
-
-$\qed$
-
-\subsection{Foreign Contents}
-
-Only relevant if $\patchof{L} = \bot$, in which case
-$\patchof{C} = \bot$ and by Foreign Merges $\patchof{R} = \bot$,
-so Totally Foreign Contents applies.  $\qed$

+Trivial for $C \in \set P$.  For $C \not\in \set P$,
+$\pancsof{C}{\set P} = \bigcup_{A \in \set A} \pancsof{A}{\set P}$.

+
+\subsection{Non-Topbloke merges}
+
+We require both $\patchof{L} = \bot$ and $\patchof{R} = \bot$
+(Foreign Merges, above).
+I.e. not only is it forbidden to merge into a Topbloke-controlled
+branch without Topbloke's assistance, it is also forbidden to
+merge any Topbloke-controlled branch into any plain git branch.
+
+Given those conditions, Tip Merge and Merge Acyclic do not apply.
+And $Y \not\in \py$ so $\neg [ Y \haspatch \p ]$ so neither
+Merge Ends condition applies.
+
+So a plain git merge of non-Topbloke branches meets the conditions and
+is therefore consistent with our model.
+
+\subsection{No Replay}
+
+By definition of $\merge$,
+$D \isin C \implies D \isin L \lor D \isin R \lor D = C$.
+So, by Ingredients,
+Ingredients Prevent Replay applies.  $\qed$
+
+\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,
+$A \le L \equiv A \le \baseof{L}$.
+
+\subsubsection{For $R \in \py$:}
+
+By Unique Base of $R$ and Transitive Ancestors,
+$A \le R \equiv A \le \baseof{R}$.
+
+But by Tip Merge condition on $\baseof{R}$,
+$A \le \baseof{L} \implies A \le \baseof{R}$, so
+$A \le \baseof{R} \lor A \le \baseof{L} \equiv A \le \baseof{R}$.
+Thus $A \le C \equiv A \le \baseof{R}$.
+That is, $\baseof{C} = \baseof{R}$.
+
+\subsubsection{For $R \in \pn$:}
+
+By Tip Merge condition on $R$ and since $M \le R$,
+$A \le \baseof{L} \implies A \le R$, so
+$A \le R \lor A \le \baseof{L} \equiv A \le R$.
+Thus $A \le C \equiv A \le R$.
+That is, $\baseof{C} = R$.
+
+$\qed$
+
+\subsection{Coherence and Patch Inclusion}
+
+Need to determine $C \haspatch \p$ based on $L,M,R \haspatch \p$.
+This involves considering $D \in \py$.
+
+\subsubsection{For $L \nothaspatch \p, R \nothaspatch \p$:}
+$D \not\isin L \land D \not\isin R$.  $C \not\in \py$ (otherwise $L
+\in \py$ ie $L \haspatch \p$ by Tip Self Inpatch for $L$).  So $D \neq C$.
+Applying $\merge$ gives $D \not\isin C$ i.e. $C \nothaspatch \p$.
+
+\subsubsection{For $L \haspatch \p, R \haspatch \p$:}
+$D \isin L \equiv D \le L$ and $D \isin R \equiv D \le R$.
+(Likewise $D \isin X \equiv D \le X$ and $D \isin Y \equiv D \le Y$.)
+
+Consider $D = C$: $D \isin C$, $D \le C$, OK for $C \haspatch \p$.
+
+For $D \neq C$: $D \le C \equiv D \le L \lor D \le R
+ \equiv D \isin L \lor D \isin R$.
+(Likewise $D \le C \equiv D \le X \lor D \le Y$.)
+
+Consider $D \neq C, D \isin X \land D \isin Y$:
+By $\merge$, $D \isin C$.  Also $D \le X$
+so $D \le C$.  OK for $C \haspatch \p$.
+
+Consider $D \neq C, D \not\isin X \land D \not\isin Y$:
+By $\merge$, $D \not\isin C$.
+And $D \not\le X \land D \not\le Y$ so $D \not\le C$.
+OK for $C \haspatch \p$.
+
+Remaining case, wlog, is $D \not\isin X \land D \isin Y$.
+$D \not\le X$ so $D \not\le M$ so $D \not\isin M$.
+Thus by $\merge$, $D \isin C$.  And $D \le Y$ so $D \le C$.
+OK for $C \haspatch \p$.
+
+So indeed $L \haspatch \p \land R \haspatch \p \implies C \haspatch \p$.
+
+\subsubsection{For (wlog) $X \not\haspatch \p, Y \haspatch \p$:}
+
+$M \haspatch \p \implies C \nothaspatch \p$.
+$M \nothaspatch \p \implies C \haspatch \p$.
+
+\proofstarts
+
+One of the Merge Ends conditions applies.
+Recall that we are considering $D \in \py$.
+$D \isin Y \equiv D \le Y$.  $D \not\isin X$.
+We will show for each of
+various cases that $D \isin C \equiv M \nothaspatch \p \land D \le C$
+(which suffices by definition of $\haspatch$ and $\nothaspatch$).
+
+Consider $D = C$:  Thus $C \in \py, L \in \py$, and by Tip
+Self Inpatch for $L$, $L \haspatch \p$, so $L=Y, R=X$.  By Tip Merge,
+$M=\baseof{L}$.  So by Base Acyclic $D \not\isin M$, i.e.
+$M \nothaspatch \p$.  And indeed $D \isin C$ and $D \le C$.  OK.
+
+Consider $D \neq C, M \nothaspatch P, D \isin Y$:
+$D \le Y$ so $D \le C$.
+$D \not\isin M$ so by $\merge$, $D \isin C$.  OK.
+
+Consider $D \neq C, M \nothaspatch P, D \not\isin Y$:
+$D \not\le Y$.  If $D \le X$ then
+$D \in \pancsof{X}{\py}$, so by Addition Merge Ends and
+Transitive Ancestors $D \le Y$ --- a contradiction, so $D \not\le X$.
+Thus $D \not\le C$.  By $\merge$, $D \not\isin C$.  OK.
+
+Consider $D \neq C, M \haspatch P, D \isin Y$:
+$D \le Y$ so $D \in \pancsof{Y}{\py}$ so by Removal Merge Ends
+and Transitive Ancestors $D \in \pancsof{M}{\py}$ so $D \le M$.
+Thus $D \isin M$.  By $\merge$, $D \not\isin C$.  OK.
+
+Consider $D \neq C, M \haspatch P, D \not\isin Y$:
+By $\merge$, $D \not\isin C$.  OK.
+
+$\qed$
+
+\subsection{Base Acyclic}
+
+This applies when $C \in \pn$.
+$C \in \pn$ when $L \in \pn$ so by Merge Acyclic, $R \nothaspatch \p$.
+
+Consider some $D \in \py$.
+
+By Base Acyclic of $L$, $D \not\isin L$.  By the above, $D \not\isin
+R$.  And $D \neq C$.  So $D \not\isin C$.
+
+$\qed$
+
+\subsection{Tip Contents}
+
+We need worry only about $C \in \py$.
+And $\patchof{C} = \patchof{L}$
+so $L \in \py$ so $L \haspatch \p$.  We will use the Unique Base
+of $C$, and its Coherence and Patch Inclusion, as just proved.
+
+Firstly we show $C \haspatch \p$: If $R \in \py$, then $R \haspatch
+\p$ and by Coherence/Inclusion $C \haspatch \p$ .  If $R \not\in \py$
+then by Tip Merge $M = \baseof{L}$ so by Base Acyclic and definition
+of $\nothaspatch$, $M \nothaspatch \p$.  So by Coherence/Inclusion $C
+\haspatch \p$ (whether $R \haspatch \p$ or $\nothaspatch$).
+
+We will consider an arbitrary commit $D$
+and prove the Exclusive Tip Contents form.
+
+\subsubsection{For $D \in \py$:}
+$C \haspatch \p$ so by definition of $\haspatch$, $D \isin C \equiv D
+\le C$.  OK.
+
+\subsubsection{For $D \not\in \py, R \not\in \py$:}
+
+$D \neq C$.  By Tip Contents of $L$,
+$D \isin L \equiv D \isin \baseof{L}$, and by Tip Merge condition,
+$D \isin L \equiv D \isin M$.  So by definition of $\merge$, $D \isin
+C \equiv D \isin R$.  And $R = \baseof{C}$ by Unique Base of $C$.
+Thus $D \isin C \equiv D \isin \baseof{C}$.  OK.
+
+\subsubsection{For $D \not\in \py, R \in \py$:}
+
+$D \neq C$.
+
+By Tip Contents
+$D \isin L \equiv D \isin \baseof{L}$ and
+$D \isin R \equiv D \isin \baseof{R}$.
+
+If $\baseof{L} = M$, trivially $D \isin M \equiv D \isin \baseof{L}.$
+Whereas if $\baseof{L} = \baseof{M}$, by definition of $\base$,
+$\patchof{M} = \patchof{L} = \py$, so by Tip Contents of $M$,
+$D \isin M \equiv D \isin \baseof{M} \equiv D \isin \baseof{L}$.
+
+So $D \isin M \equiv D \isin L$ and by $\merge$,
+$D \isin C \equiv D \isin R$.  But from Unique Base,
+$\baseof{C} = R$ so $D \isin C \equiv D \isin \baseof{C}$.  OK.
+
+$\qed$
+
+\subsection{Foreign Inclusion}
+
+Consider some $D$ s.t. $\patchof{D} = \bot$.
+By Foreign Inclusion of $L, M, R$:
+$D \isin L \equiv D \le L$;
+$D \isin M \equiv D \le M$;
+$D \isin R \equiv D \le R$.
+
+\subsubsection{For $D = C$:}
+
+$D \isin C$ and $D \le C$.  OK.
+
+\subsubsection{For $D \neq C, D \isin M$:}
+
+Thus $D \le M$ so $D \le L$ and $D \le R$ so $D \isin L$ and $D \isin
+R$.  So by $\merge$, $D \isin C$.  And $D \le C$.  OK.
+
+\subsubsection{For $D \neq C, D \not\isin M, D \isin X$:}
+
+By $\merge$, $D \isin C$.
+And $D \isin X$ means $D \le X$ so $D \le C$.
+OK.
+
+\subsubsection{For $D \neq C, D \not\isin M, D \not\isin L, D \not\isin R$:}
+
+By $\merge$, $D \not\isin C$.
+And $D \not\le L, D \not\le R$ so $D \not\le C$.
+OK
+
+$\qed$
+
+\subsection{Foreign Contents}
+
+Only relevant if $\patchof{L} = \bot$, in which case
+$\patchof{C} = \bot$ and by Foreign Merges $\patchof{R} = \bot$,
+so Totally Foreign Contents applies.  $\qed$

+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 of these sets are disjoint.  Hence:
+
+\item[ $ \patchof{ C } $ ]
+Either $\p$ s.t. $ C \in \p $, or $\bot$.
+A function from commits to patches' sets $\p$.
+
+\item[ $ \pancsof{C}{\set P} $ ]
+$ \{ A \; | \; A \le C \land A \in \set P \} $
+i.e. all the ancestors of $C$
+which are in $\set P$.
+
+\item[ $ \pendsof{C}{\set P} $ ]
+$ \{ E \; | \; E \in \pancsof{C}{\set P}
+  \land \mathop{\not\exists}_{A \in \pancsof{C}{\set P}}
+  E \neq A \land E \le A \} $
+i.e. all $\le$-maximal commits in $\pancsof{C}{\set P}$.
+
+\item[ $ \baseof{C} $ ]
+$ \pendsof{C}{\pn} = \{ \baseof{C} \} $ where $ C \in \py $.
+A partial function from commits to commits.
+See Unique Base, below.
+
+\item[ $ C \haspatch \p $ ]
+$\displaystyle \bigforall_{D \in \py} D \isin C \equiv D \le C $.
+~ Informally, $C$ 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 $\p$.
+
+Commits on Non-Topbloke branches are $\nothaspatch \p$ for all $\p$.  This
+includes commits on plain git branches made by applying a Topbloke
+patch.  If a Topbloke
+patch is applied to a non-Topbloke branch and then bubbles back to
+the relevant Topbloke branches, we hope that
+if the user still cares about the Topbloke patch,
+git's merge algorithm will DTRT when trying to re-apply the changes.
+
+\item[ $\displaystyle \mergeof{C}{L}{M}{R} $ ]
+The contents of a git merge result:
+
+$\displaystyle D \isin C \equiv
+  \begin{cases}
+    (D \isin L \land D \isin R) \lor D = C : & \true \\
+    (D \not\isin L \land D \not\isin R) \land D \neq C : & \false \\
+    \text{otherwise} : & D \not\isin M
+  \end{cases}

+\section{Simple commit}
+
+A simple single-parent forward commit $C$ as made by git-commit.
+\begin{gather}
+\tag*{} C \hasparents \{ L \} \\
+\tag*{} \patchof{C} = \patchof{L} \\
+\tag*{} D \isin C \equiv D \isin L \lor D = C
+\end{gather}
+This also covers Topbloke-generated commits on plain git branches:
+Topbloke strips the metadata when exporting.

+\subsection{No Replay}
+
+Ingredients Prevent Replay applies.  $\qed$
+
+\subsection{Unique Base}
+If $L, C \in \py$ then by Calculation of Ends,
+$\pendsof{C}{\pn} = \pendsof{L}{\pn}$ so
+$\baseof{C} = \baseof{L}$. $\qed$
+
+\subsection{Tip Contents}
+We need to consider only $L, C \in \py$.  From Tip Contents for $L$:
+\[ D \isin L \equiv D \isin \baseof{L} \lor ( D \in \py \land D \le L ) \]
+Substitute into the contents of $C$:
+\[ D \isin C \equiv D \isin \baseof{L} \lor ( D \in \py \land D \le L )
+    \lor D = C \]
+Since $D = C \implies D \in \py$,
+and substituting in $\baseof{C}$, from Unique Base above, this gives:
+\[ D \isin C \equiv D \isin \baseof{C} \lor
+    (D \in \py \land D \le L) \lor
+    (D = C \land D \in \py) \]
+\[ \equiv D \isin \baseof{C} \lor
+   [ D \in \py \land ( D \le L \lor D = C ) ] \]
+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 $L, C \in \pn$.
+
+For $D = C$: $D \in \pn$ so $D \not\in \py$. OK.
+
+For $D \neq C$: $D \isin C \equiv D \isin L$, so by Base Acyclic for
+$L$, $D \isin C \implies D \not\in \py$.
+
+$\qed$
+
+\subsection{Coherence and patch inclusion}
+
+Need to consider $D \in \py$
+
+\subsubsection{For $L \haspatch P, D = C$:}
+
+Ancestors of $C$:
+$ D \le C $.
+
+Contents of $C$:
+$ D \isin C \equiv \ldots \lor \true \text{ so } D \haspatch C $.
+
+\subsubsection{For $L \haspatch P, D \neq C$:}
+Ancestors: $ D \le C \equiv D \le L $.
+
+Contents: $ D \isin C \equiv D \isin L \lor f $
+so $ D \isin C \equiv D \isin L $.
+
+So:
+\[ L \haspatch P \implies C \haspatch P \]
+
+\subsubsection{For $L \nothaspatch P$:}
+
+Firstly, $C \not\in \py$ since if it were, $L \in \py$.
+Thus $D \neq C$.
+
+Now by contents of $L$, $D \notin L$, so $D \notin C$.
+
+So:
+\[ L \nothaspatch P \implies C \nothaspatch P \]
+$\qed$
+
+\subsection{Foreign Inclusion:}
+
+Simple Foreign Inclusion applies.  $\qed$
+
+\subsection{Foreign Contents:}
+
+Only relevant if $\patchof{C} = \bot$, and in that case Totally
+Foreign Contents applies. $\qed$
