Hello, I have a list of hashes of commits which I want to order by
topological order. I'm trying this: `git rev-list --topo-order
--no-walk <commit1> <commit2>`

However, no matter what I do, I always get the 2 commits in the order
I provide them in the input.

As an example, I'm using commits from Linux kernel `e4073430ee1de` and
`0d55b76fd815f4`:

$ git log --topo-order -2 --oneline 0d55b76fd815f4
0d55b76fd815 ath11k: setup REO for WCN6855
e4073430ee1d ath11k: add dp support for WCN6855

$ git rev-list --topo-order --no-walk 0d55b76fd815f4 e4073430ee1de
0d55b76fd815f4d685a62afe44e623501186ceb4
e4073430ee1dec5402a6158755ac8b84eade83c6

$ git rev-list --topo-order --no-walk e4073430ee1de 0d55b76fd815f4
e4073430ee1dec5402a6158755ac8b84eade83c6
0d55b76fd815f4d685a62afe44e623501186ceb4

$ git rev-list --topo-order --no-walk=sorted e4073430ee1de 0d55b76fd815f4
e4073430ee1dec5402a6158755ac8b84eade83c6
0d55b76fd815f4d685a62afe44e623501186ceb4

Is it possible to obtain a fixed list of commits sorted by topological order?
