Could we have a WebServices API query to return the dependency tree for a given bug? Basically this would be the tree of bugs that is used to generate the page that you get when you click on the "tree" link in the "Dependency tree / graph" text that appears on each bug.

I'd additionally like to be able to specify include_fields to restrict the fields that are included for each bug in the results. It would probably make sense that include_fields would default to only including the bug number, title and blocking bugs by default, but I'd like to also opt it to having the whiteboard value included for each bug in the results.

FWIW I'm trying to create a tool that generates Gantt charts for a given bug, and could pull data from the whiteboard to determine the duration/start date/end date for each bug, and the dependencies between them from the dependency tree (obviously).

Having to walk the dependency tree creating a new REST query for each bug found in previous bugs dependency list is obviously inefficient, more difficult and error prone.
