Hi,

When converting an svn repository to git, I am filtering the commits
using --msg-filter. During this conversion I want to use the
.git-rewrite/map data to fill in references to other commits. In the
svn repo, there is a commit message e.g. "Cherry-pick r207", and I
want to append "r207 = <commit>" to the git commit message, as r207
no longer means very much. This works fine when the git commit
corresponding to r207 has been filtered before the current commit, and
is present in the map. When filtering in --topo-order, this is not
always the case, making it impossible to look up the git commit.

I'd rather have this as an option. God knows what breaks with time-skewed repositories if you use date-order instead of topo-order, and I'd rather not break that not quite uncommon case.

Well, from the git rev-list docs:

       --date-order
              This option is similar to --topo-order in the sense that no
              parent comes before all of its children, but otherwise things
              are still ordered in the commit timestamp order.

Sounds pretty safe to me?

Cheers,
Peter
