Alternatively, the lua support could be extended.  If lua hooks had
some convenient access to monotone internals (in particular ancestry),
and if there were a way to call them from the command line---perhaps
"monotone lua foo" would call a function defined as
"command_functions["foo"]=function...", then agraph could go, and
users would just need some way to share lua code.
