 I found that Formaline recently started to deadlock when creating git
 repositories. The problem was that {{{cat}}} was called without arguments.
 This patch corrects the problem:

 Change line 382 from
 {{{
                 cat $(filter-out '$(TARBALL_DIR)/config-Cactus.files', $?)
 && \
 }}}
 to
 {{{
                 cat /dev/null $(filter-out '$(TARBALL_DIR)/config-
 Cactus.files', $?) && \
 }}}
 i.e. add a {{{/dev/null}}} there.
