The above question matters, so please answer it if you can. I'll make it
clearer for you though...

By 'correct order' Thomas means the order in which my old BK-export
script used to generate the "changesets since last release" web page;
the order in which the changes actually got merged into Linus'
repository.

If I looked at the page yesterday, and then I look at it again today, I
want all the commits I hadn't seen already to be at the _top_.
Regardless of the date on which they were _originally_ committed to some
private tree elsewhere.

There were a lot of complaints until I worked out how to get that
ordering out of BitKeeper.
