Ok, thank you.  I will try this out and keep this in mind as I test
out the patch Johannes posted.

This is, btw, completely different than what Johannes posted. His patch
shows you the date of the _tip_ of each of the branches. My script shows
the _oldest_ reflog for the branch. So it depends on whether you want
them in order of "last worked on" or "created" (you said "created", but
I wonder if "last worked on" is actually more useful).

Ah, yes, good point.  I think this all falls under the topic of branch
management, and it would be good to have a full suite of reports for
people with a rats' nest of branches to keep track of.  I'm up to ten
topic branches and plan on needing a few more soon.

Queries that help me answer the question of "did I merge this
branch?", "when did I merge it?" (i.e., "Can I delete this branch?"),
along with creation times and last modified times, I think would be
helpful.

Thank you again.
