These terms are already used by the normal graph. So we cannot really reuse them directly.

Are you suggesting we use:

- successors-parents,
- successors-descendants,
- predecessors-parents,
- predecessors-ancestors ?


On that topic, we started to talk about `evolution` to refer to the various iteration over a changesets. So maybe:

- successor,
- evolution-child,
- evolution-parent,
- predecessor

?

direct-predecessor and direct-successor seem more clear and explicit than evolution-*.

And going one step further, it might make sense that these are looking for the direct successor/predecessor in global state (and could therefore be empty if something was edited in another clone), and change the existing predecessor/successor to find the closest one that is currently in the repo. Similar to what I was wondering about on IRC the other day.
