Subject: [PATCH 6/7] thread: last Reference always wins
Date: Sat, 10 Dec 2016 03:43:04 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161210034305.2654-7-e@80x24.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20161210034305.2654-1-e@80x24.org>

Since we use SearchMsg from Xapian data, we can be
assured we do not get self-referential {references}
field.

However, we may need to be more careful when checking
has_descendent for loops, as blindly calling add_child
could open us up to that possibility...
