merge alg needs to check for cyclic dependencies
+when creating needs to remove metadata, make a separate commit with no
+metadata to allow us to spot what's happening. should only do this
+with option to permit it! Also need to do this when merging.

wibblings:
what about strangeness in ancient history wrt merge alg
topgit import
- topbloke {base,tip} is ff desc of topgit {base,tip}
- with metadata adjusted
+ topbloke {base,tip} is ff desc of topgit {base,tip}
+ with metadata adjusted
+ topbloke branch has all the deps of the topgit
+ branch (topgit branches mapped into topbloke
+ branches) plus the topgit branch itself named in
+ flags
+ reject topbloke imports of topgit branches which
+ also contain topbloke metadata
need patch name in metadata
patch dep metadata syntax unsatisfactory: too twiddly
flags metadata unsatisfactory: wants to be valued properties
what about ops which update multiple refs - atomicity ?
think about this later but for now abstract away commit and
other ref update
+
+also would like some kind of --ff-only update ?
