require.js dependency analysis tool

Question

How to detect circular dependencies from a project built using requir.js?

For instance

/* File: MyView.js */
define(['backbone','views/myview','object_x'], function(BB,V,X){
   ...
});

/* File: Object_X.js */
define(['backbone','jquery','views/myview','object_x'], function(BB,$,V,X){
   ...
});

what I mean is that as the project gets bigger, manually inspecting each file becomes a hassle.

Edit: How about detecting redundant dependencies?

This SO post appeared below that link in my Google search and I still trusted going here first. Now I feel silly.

Use r.js to optimize the code. During build process it will list files that were included while building.

If you want to do more dependency graph analysis the semi-private onResourceLoad API may be helpful.
