All this can work only if you reflect the complete history |
6 |
in the DAG. Such approaches had been discussed and eliminated |
7 |
as unrealistic: You do not want to keep the history forever; |
8 |
the data will always grow and eventually be too much. |
9 |
Moreover, there can be overlays which might be added, |
10 |
perhaps eventually are abondened, replaced by other |
11 |
overlays, etc. It is not realistic to expect a complete |
12 |
history from them since you installed once from them. |
13 |
|
14 |
One must face the fact that at one stage you have the tree you |
15 |
installed and at another stage you have the current tree with |
16 |
possibly dramatic changes and no complete history of all changes. |
17 |
|
18 |
In the lack of such a history, simply there is information |
19 |
missing to decide the correct proceeding. |
20 |
|
21 |
You have to choose your poison which is either to take |
22 |
the old tree or the new tree as a basis (and to fill the |
23 |
gaps from the other tree). |

The available information is *in principle* insufficient. |
