You can write a program which imports them. You can figure out a graph structure which allows all the imports reject free. Your complaint is that BK has already figured out one such graph that has those characteristics and you know that it would be easier if we told you what that is. Yes, I know that to be true, it would be easier for you. However, we're long past the pretense that this is so you can do your kernel engineering, we all know that this is so you can work on a clone of BK, whoops, a much better SCM system. No business will survive if they give away their advantage to their competitors, which is what you are asking us to do. Even if I wanted to do it I have a board that would promptly fire me if I did. OK, that's it for me, I have to go work on slides for a talk so have the big fun, I'm signing off on this thread.
