HN comments are a DAG. DAGs are branchy, which is the problem. It seems like you want to merge or rebase the two comments and then reply with a new node pointing to the last of them.
- doubleunplussed 7y agoHacker news comments are a restricted DAG where a node can't have multiple parents. Obviously they're referring to that property. The branches could come back together again.

If HN were a DAG then I could make this reply to your comment and someone else’s on another part of the discussion at the same time. > merge or rebase These are source control terms - I’m not sure how they apply here.
