Along those lines... I just tried that, it found a whole heap of old commits I didn't yet clean up, and they're sorted by their SHA1.

In other words, actually finding the latest commit in there was a nontrivial task.

I don't speak tcl, so could somebody please change "gitk -d" to sort its command line by date (newest first, of course)? Thanks.
