Thanks!  Just a couple things I noticed on a quick skim:

It was a conscious decision to use a mixture of the two techniques; see,
e.g.,

and followups.

Given the number of options available, we have to make some hard
decisions about which are worth mentioning in the manual and which can
be left to the man pages.  The --reverse option doesn't seem important
enough to be worth a mention at this point, but I'd listen to reason.

The best way to work in --reverse, I think, would be in an examples
section as part of a pipeline that needed to get commits in --reverse
order.  I can't think of one off hand.
