Knowing the implementation, it is sort of obvious (we push the objects into the pending list, populate the revs.commits in prepare_revision_walk() from the pending list in order, get_revision() first reverses the revs.commits and then gives out the elements), but I didn't know the combination of "--no-walk" and "--reverse" did something sensible ;-) Thanks.
