LSGENEALOGY
New command. LsGenealogy is an alternative way to display the version tree of an element. It will treat merge arrows on a par level with parenthood on a branch, and will navigate backwards from the version currently selected, to find what contributors led to the version currently selected. This is thought as being particularly adapted to displaying the bush-like structure caracteristic of version trees produced under the advocated branching strategy.
1. -all flag
  Show 'uninteresting' versions, otherwise skipped: - bearing no label - not at a chain boundary.
2. -obsolete flag
  Add obsoleted branches to the search.
3. -short flag
  Skip displaying labels and 'labelled' versions and do not report alternative paths or siblings.
4. -depth flag
  Specify a maximum depth at which to stop displaying the genealogy of the element.
CO/CHECKOUT
Supports the BranchOff feature, which you can set up via an attribute in the config spec. The rationale and the design are documented in:
```
 http://www.cmcrossroads.com/cgi-bin/cmwiki/view/CM/BranchOffMain0
```
Instead of branching off the selected version, the strategy is to branch off the root of the version tree, copy-merging there from the former.

This allows to avoid both merging back to /main or to a delivery branch, and to cascade branches indefinitely. The logical version tree is restituted by navigating the merge arrows, to find all the direct or indirect contributors.
