From: Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@gmail.com>

Add support to sort by version using the "v:refname" and "version:refname" option. This is achieved by using the 'versioncmp()' function as the comparing function for qsort.

This option is included to support sorting by versions in `git tag -l` which will eventaully be ported to use ref-filter APIs.

Add documentation and tests for the same.

 order (`objectsize`, `authordate`, `committerdate`, `taggerdate`).
 All other fields are used to sort in their byte-value order.
 
+There is also an option to sort by versions, this can be done by using
+the fieldname `version:refname` or its alias `v:refname`.

 In any case, a field name that refers to a field inapplicable to
 the object referred by the ref does not cause an error.  It
 returns an empty string instead.
