For this function, each node of in-degree zero in `G` becomes a root of one of the arborescences, and there will be one leaf node for each distinct path from that root to a leaf node in `G`. Each node `v` in `G` with *k* parents becomes *k* distinct nodes in the returned branching, one for each parent, and the sub-DAG rooted at `v` is duplicated for each copy.
