Either ``*`` to denote that all edges can be followed or a comma separated list of edge types to allow following only those edges. Note that when traversing the *backward* (i.e., transposed) graph, edge types are reversed too. So, for instance, ``ori:snp`` makes sense when traversing the forward graph, but useless (due to lack of matching edges in the graph) when traversing the backward graph; conversely ``snp:ori`` is useful when traversing the backward graph, but not in the forward one. For the same reason ``dir:dir`` allows following edges from parent directories to sub-directories when traversing the forward graph, but the same restriction allows following edges from sub-directories to parent directories. Examples ~~~~~~~~ - ``swh:1:cnt:94a9ed024d3859793618152ea559a168bbcbb5e2`` the PID of a node of type content containing the full text of the GPL3 license. - ``swh:1:rev:f39d7d78b70e0f39facb1e4fab77ad3df5c52a35`` the PID of a node of type revision corresponding to the commit in Linux that merged the 'x86/urgent' branch on 31 December 2017. - ``"dir:dir,dir:cnt"`` node types allowing edges from directories to directories nodes, or directories to contents nodes. - ``"rev:rev,dir:*"`` node types allowing edges from revisions to revisions nodes, or from directories nodes. - ``"*:rel"`` node types allowing all edges to releases.
