Component pedigree is a way to document complex supply chain scenarios where components are created,
distributed, modified, redistributed, combined with other components, etc. Pedigree supports viewing
this complex chain from the beginning, the end, or anywhere in the middle. It also provides a way to
document variants where the exact relation may not be known.
Describes zero or more components in which a component is derived
from. This is commonly used to describe forks from existing projects where the forked version
contains a ancestor node containing the original component it was forked from. For example,
Component A is the original component. Component B is the component being used and documented
in the BOM. However, Component B contains a pedigree node with a single ancestor documenting
Component A - the original component from which Component B is derived from.
Descendants are the exact opposite of ancestors. This provides a
way to document all forks (and their forks) of an original or root component.
Variants describe relations where the relationship between the
components are not known. For example, if Component A contains nearly identical code to
Component B. They are both related, but it is unclear if one is derived from the other,
or if they share a common ancestor.

how the component deviates from an ancestor, descendant, or variant.

deviates from an ancestor, descendant, or variant. Patches may be complimentary to commits
