How to generate agenda view tasks of all states?

How to generate agenda view tasks of all states?

[joakim]

I would like to experiment with a graphical view of all tasks I've ever
finished, produced with graphviz or something.

However, I can't seem to reliably generate a suitable view for further
processing. For some reason arg 0 only shows TODO items, not all states.

Here is some tentative code, that is supposed to setup a local state so
my customizations doesnt affect the view. Am I missing something?

(let ((org-agenda-todo-list-sublevels t)
      (org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date nil)
      (org-todo-keywords '((sequence "TODO"  "DONE" "CANCELLED" "dummystate"))) )
  
  (org-todo-list 0))

This works:

  (let ((org-agenda-todo-list-sublevels t)
        (org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date nil)
        (org-not-done-regexp (regexp-opt org-todo-keywords-1 t)))
    (org-todo-list))

(org-todo-list) should be called with no argument.

You need to set `org-not-done-regexp' so that done tasks are not
skipped, which is the default behavior of `org-todo-list'.

HTH,
