[RESUBMITTED PATCH 1/2] Add --topo-order flag to git-rev-list [rev2]

From: Jon Seymour <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:42:01
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Added a --topo-order flag to git-rev-list.

When this flag is specified, git-rev-list sorts its output
in topological order. That is:

	a is reachable from b ==> ord(b) < ord(a)

This ordering invariant is weaker than the --merge-order invariant
but should be sufficient for tools just as gitk that only
need the minimum guarantee provided by --topo-order.

Signed-off-by: Jon Seymour <redacted>

Note: this patch assumes that my previous patch series that introduces
sort_in_topological_order() to commit.c has been applied.

A subsequent patch to gitk will make gitk use --topo-order instead
of --merge-order.

[rev2]
   * this patch rescues the --topo-order patch that I withdrew
     by recognizing that if limit_list is called, sort_commit_list
     does not do a chronological sort
   * ensures limit_list is called whenever a topological sort is
     is required
   * removed excess braces
