Using the current topgit master, I did a 'tg depends add' and somehow
seem to have found an infinite loop; see http://gist.github.com/99752

I've pushed all my t/* branches to github.com/samv/git - the t/*
branches.  Any obvious idea what went wrong?

Thanks for writing tg!
Sam.

Yes, you have a circular dependency:

	ukleinek@cassiopeia:~/tmp/samv/git$ git show t/revcache/spec:.topdeps
	t/revcache/spec

it was introduced in a7506fa2d393068b3ed85beaaa74cf6d3d52279d.  This
patch belongs to the TopGit-patch t/revcache/spec, but the subject
suggests that it's on t/revcache/spec-bitmap.

If you want to check what went wrong, you should check the revlog of
t/revcache/spec.

Best regards
Uwe
