I haven't had the time to digest the several new takes on this, esp. http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git/2008/8/15/2954214 and combining my previous attempt's use of git revert and git cherry-pick with git read-tree to make for a much faster adding or removal of dependencies.

How odd. It also looks like "redeps" contains the new set of dependencies, which is written to .topdeps. I guess that most of this script will be abandoned anyway, but a nice bug report ie: how to reproduce this error never hurts ;-)
