I'm really not surprised. Incrementally is really hard. I'm reminded of all the problems we had with just the "trivial" issue of just knowing when to consider something uninteresting or not, that ended up depending on commit timestamps etc, and had problems with people having their clocks set incorrectly. Doing the ops once you have the full DAG is usually _trivial_ by comparison. Linus
