Hmm, I just realised that automate leaves doesn't quite do what I
want.  I want to be able to select leaves from particular branches,
and as far as I can see, automate leaves doesn't provide such a
feature.  For my purposes, it would then be quite a bit better to use
automate heads, looping over branches...

Still, automate ancestry_differences and automate toposort solve other
parts of my script (that are buggy!) quite well.  All I need now is
automate log and automate changes, then I'll be able to make it really
simple.  Hmm, maybe I can create automate log, at the very least...

Cheers,
Richard
