But --early-output does not imply --topo-order, I guess...

I would think you need _both_ in git log:

git log --early-output --topo-order <...remaining stuff...>

Am I missing something?

P.S: Why did you choose not let git log (i.e. Linus) to handle the
default number of commits?

"--early-output=50" instead of just "--early-output"

I would say, he added this feature mainly for his personal use, so why
don't let him to tweak git-log defaults to his wishes ;-)
