By the way, by "would anything break", I do not just mean if our
existing tests trigger failures from "test_expect_success"; I
suspect some do assume the sorting behaviour.  I am wondering if the
sorting makes sense in the real users; in other words, if the
failing tests, if any, are expecting sensible and useful behaviour.

After all, the sorting by the commit timestamp is made solely to
optimize the limit_list() which wants to traverse commits ancestry
near the tip of the history, and sorting by the commit timestamp is
done because it is usually a good and quick approximation for
topological sorting.
