Hi,

On Mon, 13 Jul 2009, Linus Torvalds wrote:
The actual "--no-walk" flag was then added over a year later by Dsco, in 
commit 8e64006eee ("Teach revision machinery about --no-walk").

Doing a "git log -p -S--no-walk", I have to admit that I don't find a 
single actual _use_ of --no-walk.
Actually, I remember very precisely why I introduced it.  The difference 
between "git log --no-walk a b c" and "git show a b c" is that "git log" 
sorts the commits by commit time, which is pretty important in my case.

So I'd appreciate not doing away with that option.

Thanks,
