Except that "$GIT_DIR/info/order" is a bit too generic a name ("eh,
'order'? Order of what?"), I do not think this will hurt, as no existing
repositories would have such a file that would cause any behaviour change
to existing users. The reason I did not queue it was because there wasn't
any discussion on it (not even the filename being too generic) which was
an indication that not many people are interested in such a feature.
That of course can be remedied by interested people speaking out.
