Actually, I only looked at your question, not the original point, which
was not which commit was which, but which one was older. If you just
want to know which is older, then just:
git log --format=%H --name-status --diff-filter=A -- path1 path2 |
grep ^A |
tail -1
which uses the regular traversal order (i.e., mostly following commit
timestamps). You can use --topo-order if you want to make sure it
follows the graph structure.
