I keep forgetting about graph-ancestry.  Mainly because when I tried
it last, I very much preferred bzr viz...

So I just did "bzr branch lp:bzrtools" and tried to use it...

This is the result...

: [erik at zmaco]$ ; bzr graph-ancestry test.dot
bzr: ERROR: exceptions.TypeError: run() takes at least 3 non-keyword
arguments (2 given)

** please send this report to bazaar at lists.ubuntu.com

This is with a brand new bzr.dev
