Simply looks everywhere? Did you actually look at the code or the description?

It will only find the parent of a clone’s delta CHD if it’s in the parent set. It wouldn’t know what name to look for otherwise. If parents change, or the content of the parent CHD changes, you need to convert the clone CHD back again before replacing the parent and then turning the clone CHD into a delta CHD again.
