23682	Stronger redirect loop detection in the test client	Wojtek Ruszczewski	nobody	"The test client has a mechanism to detect circular redirects. I'd like to propose two changes to it;
* when a loop is detected, throw an exception rather than break silently;
* detect and complain about very (possibly infinitely) long redirect chains with differing URLs (at least when they only differ by a view argument value or query string).

[https://github.com/wrwrwr/django/compare/dropped/redirect-with-view-name-loops A few tests] that are not part of the proposed changes, but demonstrate how one could try to test for loops (currently 3 of these just past, while a browser would run into a loop, and 2 actually loop indefinitely)."
