Hi Stefan,

Something tells me that I will hate you in the future when I read this commit message and lack the context (e.g. when blaming, where I cannot see the child commits let alone the comment in the Merge commit).

How about:

	The functionality to list tree objects in the order they were seen
	while traversing the commits will be used in the next commit,
	where we teach `git describe` to describe not only commits, but
	trees and blobs, too.

The diff itself is amazingly easy to review, and obviously correct.

Ciao, Dscho
