+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 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
+
+       "checkout" shouldn't do any updates but also want
+       "goto" or "push" or "pop" or something which does do updates
+              (at least, the relevant ones)
+
+       topbloke series file under .git records current leaf
+
+       create creates leaf and thus series ?
+       insert patch operation to create new patch under this one
+       append patch operation to create new patch above this one
+              which is inserted into all clients' deps
+
+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 ?
