 Thus far, this section has limited discussion to the direct inputs into
 a task. Information based on direct inputs is referred to as the
 "basehash" in the code. However, there is still the question of a task's

 to add the hashes of all the tasks on which the particular task depends.
 Choosing which dependencies to add is a policy decision. However, the

 it construct the basehash. The following statement effectively results
