Subject: [PATCH 1/13] Temporary fixup to rev-list.c to restore expected order of arguments presented to --merge-order sort.
Message-ID: <20050706163934.9811.qmail@blackcubes.dyndns.org>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20050706163934.9811.qmail%40blackcubes.dyndns.org

```

This patch adds a hacky special case to the rev-list main to restore the order in which
the --merge-order sort algorithm receives arguments.

A subsequent patch will abstract this out more cleanly.
