Thanks, those bugs are now fixed :-)

For now, that feature doesn't exist. ViewMTN now shows some forward
and back history in the revision graph, along with showing propogates
as dotted lines and arcs heading off the edge of the graph to unseen
revisions. The way I'm doing that graphing is to call mt.parents() and
mt.children() recursively - three times at the moment - to build a
graph of nodes that are near the revision we're showing.

It wouldn't be hard to change the code to make that number (three) be
changeable to zoom in and out, I just haven't done it yet :)

Nathaniel gave me a few neat ideas that might lead to a google-maps
style view of the revision graph; for now though if anyone has ideas
to improve the graphs being output please let me know or send me a
patch! :-)
