[TopGit PATCH] hooks/pre-commit: check for cycles in dependencies

We need only to consider newly added dependencies. For each of these deps we need to check if there is a path from this dep to the current HEAD.

We use recursive_dep() for this task. Even if recursive_dep() uses a DFS traversal it will not run into an endless loop if there would be a cycle, because recursive_dep() takes .topdeps only from committed trees. And we require that the committed dependency graph has no cycles.

Note, the dependency on bw/tred is only historical, it only depends on master.
