> dependency:tree is *really* useful for tracking down how a particular
> transitive dependency has been introduced, but it only lists the first
> occurrence, not all occurrences. So it can be frustrating game attempting to
> remove a dep only to find it introduced by another component. A parameter to
> dependency:tree to show all occurences of a transitive dep would be *really*
> helpful.
> Eg the attached POM has a direct dep on commons-beanutils and
> commons-digester, which both have a dep on commons-logging. But executing
> {code}
> mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.0-alpha-5-SNAPSHOT:tree
> {code}
> only shows commons-logging listed as a transitive dep for commons-beanutils,
> not commons-digester, Ie
> {code}
