In tla, there's a mandatory namespace, and branches have strong
identities.  Bzr doesn't need that.  Branches are referred to by their
location, and branch nicks, and branch names, are merely hints.  When
you create a branch of another branch in bzr, the numbers don't restart.
 So if there were a "bzr ancestry", you'd always get something like:

$bzr ancestry
bzr.dev
1447 .. 1

You'd never get something like this:
$bzr ancestry
bzr.ab
45 .. 1
bzr.dev
1447 .. 1

In bzr, the log command serves much the same purpose.  There's also the
bzrk plugin, which draws pretty pictures of a branch's ancestry.

I guess the closest thing would be:
$ cd my_proj--main--0.1
$ bzr nick
(Until you set a nick, this will output the directory name,
"my_proj--main--0.1")
