It's related to commits actually having a parent-child structure (forming a graph) and timestamps (commit/author) being metadata. So commits 1->2->3->4 could be modified to have timestamps 1->3->2->4. I know GitHub prefers sorting with author over commit date, but don't know how topology is handled. | ||

> It's related to commits actually having a parent-child structure (forming a graph) and timestamps (commit/author) being metadata. Yeah, I think everyone is aware. It's just that the last couple dozen commits, to me, looked like commits had been created in chronological order, so that topological order == chronological order. > I know GitHub prefers sorting with author over commit date, but don't know how topology is handled. Commits are usually sorted topologically. | ||
