Not _that_ pathological in practice, given that you can't really
depend on the timestamps in a distributed SCM.

After I looked at the timestamps you assigned to these sequences
I fully agree they are not pathological at all.  For each
"repository owner" who makes a single strand of pearls, time
seems to be flowing monotonically.
