I hate this. It means we have to work out when to stop, which is by no
means entirely obvious.
So parents files with one parent per line?
One thing that's not been addressed: how does this work across multiple
repositories? We probably want a way of letting supplemental
repositories define their own profile bits (defaults, suboptions etc)
in a way that meshes nicely with the main profile.
Just have the mangler look both in arbor/profiles/foo/bar and
supplemental/profiles/foo/bar when it's using a profile that mentions
"foo/bar" as its path thing?
Having the mere addition of another repository alter the default options
for all
packages is nasty. Maybe just looking at profiles/foo/bar for the
repository of each
package and all that repository's masters will work? First master first
and the
repository last.
