The `window.location.hash' setter will strip of a single leading hash character
if it exists from the fragment before joining the fragment value to the href
with a new hash character.
This meant that if we want the fragment to lead with a hash character, we
must do `window.location.hash = '##test'` to ensure that the first hash
character in the fragment is not lost.
The `$location.hash` setter works differently and assumes that the value
passed is the the full fragment, i.e. it does not attempt to strip off a
single leading hash character.
Previously, if you called, `$location.hash('#test')`, the leading hash was
being stripped and the resulting url fragment did not contain this hash:
`$location.hash()`, then became 'test' rather than `#test`, which led to
an infinite digest.

AngularJS 
AngularJS lets you write client-side web applications as if you had a smarter browser. It lets you use good old HTML (or HAML, Jade and friends!) as your template language and lets you extend HTML’s syntax to express your application’s components clearly and succinctly. It automatically synchronizes data from your UI (view) with your JavaScript objects (model) through 2-way data binding. To help you structure your application better and make it easy to test, AngularJS teaches the browser how to do dependency injection and inversion of control.
Oh yeah and it helps with server-side communication, taming async callbacks with promises and deferreds. It also makes client-side navigation and deeplinking with hashbang urls or HTML5 pushState a piece of cake. Best of all?? It makes development fun!
