--tree is already documented in the man page, in alphabetical order with all the rest of the options. Yes, it's two lines, but that's all it needs to be: it displays the whole depgraph so yu can see what pulls in what. It's also *very* well-known around here and is usually one of the first things given as advice with questions like yours. Were you expecting something more? -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
