I was waiting to see that many people jumping up and down saying that the omission of --date-order from the "most often used" set was a grave bug before applying it. It hasn't happened. ``` ## Raimund Bauer, 2008-04-19 07:28 Subject: Re: [PATCH] Docs gitk: Explicitly mention -d, --date-order option Message-ID: <1208590080.6426.7.camel@doriath> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1208590080.6426.7.camel%40doriath In-Reply-To: <7v1w52ib5d.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org> ``` On Fri, 2008-04-18 at 23:58 -0700, Junio C Hamano wrote: > I was waiting to see that many people jumping up and down saying that the > omission of --date-order from the "most often used" set was a grave bug > before applying it. It hasn't happened. I'm glad we had this thread because I missed this option before ... best regards, Ray ``` ## Clifford Caoile, 2008-04-19 07:35 Subject: Re: [PATCH] Docs gitk: Explicitly mention -d, --date-order option Message-ID: <1f748ec60804190035x194a9bc2qfd2287daaa4e1860@mail.gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1f748ec60804190035x194a9bc2qfd2287daaa4e1860%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <7v1w52ib5d.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org> ``` Junio C Hamano: On Sat, Apr 19, 2008 at 3:58 PM, Junio C Hamano wrote: > "Clifford Caoile" writes: > > Git Mailing List, Git Maintainer: > Heh, my name is not "Git Maintainer" ;-) Sorry about that.

It hasn't happened. The whole motivation for adding this documentation is to show that gitk has the same sorting function as git-browser. I only learned of this capability through the irc channel. As a git newbie, it wasn't obvious to me that "--date-order" was an available option. It has become my usual parameter when launching gitk on branch/merge heavy repos. Besides, and more importantly, the equivalent "-d" is a gitk only parameter that should probably be documented as well. I had to read the gitk tcl source for that one. ;-) Best regards, Clifford Caoile ``` ## Robert Pollak, 2011-04-01 08:05 Subject: Re: [PATCH] Docs gitk: Explicitly mention -d, --date-order option Message-ID: <4D95874B.9040209@jku.at> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/4D95874B.9040209%40jku.at In-Reply-To: <7v1w52ib5d.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org> ``` Hello Junio, you wrote on 2008-04-18: > "Clifford Caoile" writes: [...] >> Regarding the documentation patch "[PATCH] Docs gitk: Explicitly >> mention -d, --date-order option" [1] (2008-04-12), it has not been >> accepted.

It hasn't happened. This thread has helped me finding "-d" (which is gitk-specific). So here's my vote for the patch, FWIW. Robert ```
