There are test cases failing in the testsuite over the
past few days, is this expected?

I posted a fix for this yesterday. The break was caused by a change in
behaviour of parse_commit that the --merge-order stuff was dependent
on. Now that parse_commit is sane, the --merge-order stuff needs to be
made sane too.

The fix was in this patch.

Fixed now. It was the parent ordering cleanup that broke an assumption
about parents being in reverse order in the rev-list "epoch" code. I
checked in the fix from Jon,
