Subject: [PATCH 7/7] Fix for --merge-order, --max-age interaction issue
Message-ID: <20050620022941.28662.qmail@blackcubes.dyndns.org>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20050620022941.28662.qmail%40blackcubes.dyndns.org

```

This patch fixes a problem reported by Paul Mackerras regarding the interaction
of the --merge-order and --max-age switches of git-rev-list.

This patch applies to the current Linus HEAD. A cleaner fix for the same problem
in my current HEAD will follow later.

With this change, --merge-order produces the same result as no --merge-order
on the linux-2.6 git repository, to wit:

$> git-rev-list --max-age=1116330140 bcfff0b471a60df350338bcd727fc9b8a6aa54b2 | wc -l
655
$> git-rev-list --merge-order --max-age=1116330140 bcfff0b471a60df350338bcd727fc9b8a6aa54b2 | wc -l
655
