Re: [PATCH] name-rev: tolerate clock skew in committer dates

Sounds sensible. (ACK.)

I think the algorithm could be made a bit smarter by deepening the graph 
on demand as a new commit is asked to be named (this would require 
rewriting of name_rev() function not to recurse itself but use a 
traversal list like revision.c traverser does), but that would be a 
separate issue.

I also wanted to make the decorator (optionally) smarter, to actually do 
something like name_rev on demand, which would be much faster than (and 
coloured, in contrast to) `git log | git -p name-rev --stdin`.

Ciao,
