We're migrating some svn repositories to git. The use case is to replace 
mentions of svn revisions in commit messages by the corresponding commit 
hash. Therefore, the commits must be ordered by svn revision number, 
which is not guaranteed for commits on different branches with 
--topo-order.


Regards
felix
