+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 ?
