This is the same behavior as before, since indegree could not be

Incidentally, this fixes the bug in show-branch where the 8th column
was not shown: show-branch sorts the commits in topological order,
assuming that all the commit flags are available for show-branch's
private matters.
Do people still actively use show-branch as a G/CUI, especially after that
"log --graph" thing was introduced?
If that is the case, it might also make sense to stop using the object
flags but allocate necessary number of bits (not restricted to 25 or so)
pointed at by commit->util field to remove its limitation.
Hint, hint...

At the risk of sounding Old School, yes.
While the "log --graph" thing is Really Slick, it has
grumbly-factors, IMO. First, I have to set up an alias
all the time, as "git log --graph --pretty=oneline" is
grumpy typing. Second, I always have to widen my screen
to accommodate reasonable looking output or colrm it.
(Having it self-colrm to window-width would be nice.)
(Sure, --abbrev-commit too, but see "First," above. :-))
Finally, I frequently like seeing a self-limited history
when all the branches reach their common ancestor.
HTH,

To me, show-branch is just more convenient to use; I can see more easily
which patches are with which branches, which is useful especially for my
new sick-twisted use of feature branches for individual patches, thus
having a lot of interdependencies.

flags but allocate necessary number of bits (not restricted to 25 or so)

Maybe I will hit it soon... ;-)
