=head1 DESCRIPTION
-This module provides methods for working with adjacency lists. The
-adjacency list model is a very common way of representing a tree structure.
-In this model each row in a table has a prent ID column that references the
-primary key of another row in the same table. Because of this the primary
-key must only be one column and is usually some sort of integer. The row
-with a parent ID of 0 is the root node and is usually the parent of all
-other rows. Although, there is no limitation in this module that would

__PACKAGE__->parent_column('parent_id');
-Declares the name of the column that contains the self-referential
-ID which defines the parent row. Defaults to "parent_id". This
-will create a has_many (children) and belongs_to (parent)
-relationship.
+Declares the name of the column that contains the self-referential

+and belongs_to (parent) relationship.
+
+This method also sets up an additional has_many relationship called
+parents which is useful when you want to treat an adjacency list
+as a DAG.

+=head2 repair_tree
+
+ __PACKAGE__->repair_tree( 1 );
+
+When set a true value this flag causes all changes to a node's parent to
+trigger an integrity check on the tree. If, when changing a node's parent
+to one of it's descendents then all its children will first be moved to have
+the same current parent, and then the node's parent is changed.
+
+So, for example, if the tree is like this:
+
+ A
+ B
+ C
+ D
+ E
+ F
+
+And you execute:
+
+ $b->parent( $d );
+
+Since D is a descendant of B then all of D's siblings get their parent
+changed to A. Then B's parent is set to D.
+
+ A
