One percent too many before join, and the order of the articles is
reversed (--reverse helps here).
It is also a good idea to set gnus-thread-indent to 0 or 1, and
gnus-use-trees seems interesting, though not in a reasonably good
state (the graph layout tries to avoid crossing links and node names,
and that's rather useless).
So actually Gnus would need some kicking into shape before it actually
would present a useful tool. On the positive side, it takes about 15
seconds sucking up and toposorting the complete group of about 11000
commits from an mbox file (which one would not ever do anyway). And
that is Elisp. However, the git history is still rather harmless
considering the commit amounts.

There are too many tools around. Sigh. Another to try. Thanks for
the tip.
