merge commits, we request commits in topological order.

Any comparative timings? We don't need to rename this to 'git
reasonably-speedy-export'? 8-)

What we _could_ do is add proper error handling: fast-export should 
recognize that it did not see the commit yet, and error out suggesting 
using --topo-order with fast-export.
