So not actually an infinite loop, but close enough to make no difference?  I think we have about three bugs interacting in interesting ways here - Is your repo one where the subtree was originally extracted from mainline?
When you say it pushed every commit, does that mean that a bunch of mainline commits erroneously ended up in the subtree repo?
