I had done a little messing with putting a UI around alternates a while
back (if I ever find those elusive round tuits I'll pick it up again).
There are also more complicated cases where you could end-up recursively
including yourself, I managed to do that at least once in my messing
around.

It shouldn't be too hard to add some safety checks to git gc or git
repack but they should take the possibility of recursive alternates into
account.
