Yeah, probably an HTML limitation.  Anyhow, I've added an href attribute
to Node, and set it to '#' by default.

We could go fancier and just have graph-ancestry test.html produce the
HTML and the png.

Unfortunately, the antialias-via-svg approach doesn't work, because the
boxes get misaligned.

Who's to say they're not THIS merges?

Yeah, one of the limitations of using colours is that they have
overlapping meanings.  A revision could be THIS and COMMON, or just
COMMON, or just THIS...
