Ok. 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.
