Alexis Sellier 649d59f143 cob: Include head in initial patch entry in DAG
This change ensures that we include as a parent to the initial commit
of a patch COB, the head of the branch we are proposing as a patch.

This was already happening for patch updates, but we forgot to also
include it for the initial patch revision.

This ensures that the code is always fetched alongside the patch.

When contributing to another's project, it is common for the contribution to be of many commits and involve a discussion with the project's maintainer. This is supported via Radicle's patches.

Here we give a brief overview for using patches in our hypothetical car scenario. It turns out instructions containing the power requirements were missing from the project.

$ git checkout -b flux-capacitor-power
$ touch REQUIREMENTS

Here the instructions are added to the project's README for 1.21 gigawatts and commit the changes to git.

$ git add REQUIREMENTS
$ git commit -v -m "Define power requirements"
[flux-capacitor-power 3e674d1] Define power requirements
 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
 create mode 100644 REQUIREMENTS

Once the code is ready, we open (or create) a patch with our changes for the project.

$ rad patch open --message "Define power requirements" --message "See details."
master <- z6MknSL…StBU8Vi/flux-capacitor-power (3e674d1)
1 commit(s) ahead, 0 commit(s) behind

    git push rad
