null in list breaks ng:repeat (Cannot read property '$$hashKey' of null)

[groner]

This happens in 0.10.5 and 0.10.6-871252ab. At least some of the time this causes $digest() to time out.

I think that this is because typeof null is object, which confuses the repeater into thinking that it's a real object, but null while claiming to be an object can't have its properties dereferenced, which causes problems.

special-casing the null should do the trick. I'll explore that.
