The actual "--no-walk" flag was then added over a year later by Dsco, in
commit 8e64006eee ("Teach revision machinery about --no-walk").
Doing a "git log -p -S--no-walk", I have to admit that I don't find a
single actual _use_ of --no-walk.
Actually, I remember very precisely why I introduced it. The difference
between "git log --no-walk a b c" and "git show a b c" is that "git log"
sorts the commits by commit time, which is pretty important in my case.
Very nice. Can you add a test for that?
(OTOH do-walk seems to be superseded by Linus's patch).
