AngularJS does not allow duplicates in a ng-repeat directive. This means if you are trying to do the following, you will get an error.

[js]
// the below will throw an error
Error: Duplicates in a repeater are not allowed. Repeater: row in [1,1,1] key: number:1
<div ng-repeat="row in [1,1,1]">[/js]

However, changing the above code slightly as below will get it working again.
[js]
// this will work
<div ng-repeat="row in [1,1,1] track by $index">[/js]

The credit for the fix goes to comments in this thread https://github.com/angular/angular.js/pull/2505
