I'm pretty sure that there is an easier way to do this; but the only way
I could find if you only want the first revision (and your db only
contains one project) is to do:

monotone --db=<db> agraph

(PS: You could also store the output in a file if you have a way to view
the VCG image directly or convert the VCG output into another image
format which should show you the revision tree in nice graphical format;
like xvcg under linux.)

Look for an edge element with an empty sourcename tag, like this:

edge: { sourcename : ""
        targetname : "42b0ee1315e07a82bc94cda1794fee348074b961" }

The targetname should be the first revision id.
You could verify this with:

monotone --db=<db> ls certs <revision id>

Which should have your initial import comment under the 'changelog'
entry.

Hopefully someone else has a better way of doing this.

Kind regards,

Henry
