Sorry, I don't much to offer. The discussion from Stefan is the only one
I remember talking about evolve itself.

I think my comment may have been specifically about the extra graph
pointers that would be needed to represent rebases, etc. The general
concept of a parent pointer that doesn't imply reachability has come up
over the years. I don't have any links handy, though, and searching for
"parent" in the list archive is not likely to be all that helpful.

Hmm, searching for "parent" and "reachable" also turns up a lot, but
this one is probably relevant:

  https://lore.kernel.org/git/20060425035421.18382.51677.stgit@localhost.localdomain/

Something that old is as likely to hurt as help, though. ;)
