  Thanks for sanity-check.  Here is an updated one.
[...]
---topo-order::
+--date-order::
+	Show no parents before all of its children are shown, but
+	otherwise show commits in the commit timestamp order.
 
-	This option makes them appear in topological order (i.e.
-	descendant commits are shown before their parents).
+--topo-order::
+	Show no parents before all of its children are shown, and
+	avoid showing commits on multiple lines of history
+	intermixed.
Ack, thanks.
