It indeed is a change in behaviour, but in this case it is probably not
such a big deal.

The order "--all" (or "--branches" for that matter) lists refs doesn't
have any logical relationship with the order of importance from the end
user's point of view (they're just alphabetical), and asking for "first
five" won't make much sense unless you are learning or testing the
combinations of options, i.e. not in real life, I think.

Thanks.
