This is a defense against spiders trying to index the entire repository,
and downloading all possible diffs between any two check-ins, all possible
"annotations", all possible historical tarballs and ZIP archives, and so
forth, and thereby soaking up far more than their fair share of CPU cycles
and bandwidth.

You can disable the robot defenses by logging in using username "anonymous".

Note also that the timeline graph is drawn using javascript, and so if you
have javascript disabled, you do not see the timeline graph at all.  There
is no work-around for this second problem.
