Easy. In my worldview it is _not_ the reverse order. It is the most useful order, and thus straight-forward. > Name it "--chronological" or something to indicate that you do not want > the default reverse order. But it is not chronological. Take for example "git log --topo-order --reverse". See? Not chronological. Not even reverse chronological. > Some suggestions: > --chronological > --forward > --noreverse > --commit-order All of these have a high "Huh?" effect on me. "forward" is wrong, "noreverse" is confusing at best, and commit-order is anything but obvious. IOW those names don't solve a problem. Ciao, Dscho
