'git log --no-walk' sorts commits by commit time whereas 'git show' does not (it leaves them as given on the command line). Document this by two tests so that we never forget why ba1d450 (Tentative built-in "git show", 2006-04-15) introduced it and 8e64006 (Teach revision machinery about --no-walk, 2007-07-24) exposed it as an option argument.
