Easy. In my worldview it is _not_ the reverse order. It is the most 
useful order, and thus straight-forward.

But it is not chronological. Take for example "git log --topo-order 
--reverse". See? Not chronological. Not even reverse chronological.

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.
