I'm pushing a copy of the whole repo (all 1.9G after bzip compression)
to

But it's going to take a couple hours.

Holy cow. Almost 150 packs, and that's not even everything. The tarball
is missing a bunch of objects, because it points to your kernel-1 as an
alternate. So I suspect we would need that, as well, to recreate.

Hmmm... Rebasing repositories mixed with alternates...  I wonder if the 
infinite loop might not actually be due to a delta cycle, especially if 
the alternate is also rebasing.

So having the alternate, too, would certainly be interesting.
