Ok, this is the second part of the puzzle that I promised you.

In order to create JSON for the reverse DFS patches, here is what you can do:

# create a set of all, old known uuids, but exclude the node to patch
suppress_uuid = set(old_tree_map.keys()) - {str(node.uuid)}
patch_json = node.get_json(is_patch = True, known_uuid=suppress_uuid)

I assume you have the old_tree_map as discussed.

The is_patch now removes the uuid from the top level node, I think that is required at the moment.
