would be a better workaround that would not break repositories with
large number of references, but it obviously will lose --date-order
option (why would it be even necessary, though?  I suspect that
forcing the date-order will make the resulting pack a lot worse by
robbing the data stream of locality).

We're migrating some svn repositories to git. The use case is to replace 
mentions of svn revisions in commit messages by the corresponding commit 
hash. Therefore, the commits must be ordered by svn revision number, 
which is not guaranteed for commits on different branches with 
--topo-order.
