Re: [RFC] implement branch.sort config option

Currently, you can:

git tag --sort=$sorting_key

You can also do this on branches:

git branch --sort=$sorting_key

For tags, you can also configure it with a config key:

git config tag.sort $sorting_key

But there is no corresponding config for sorting branches.

Locally, I have a (pretty simple) patch that implements the
branch.sort config key.
Should I contribute that ?

Yes, that seems like a useful feature to me, and as you point out it
makes the overall interface more consistent.
