What ends up not working very well at all is the combination of
"--topo-order" and the output filter in get_revision. It will
return NULL when we see the first commit out of date-order, even
if we have other commits coming.
So we really should do the "past the date order" thing in
get_revision() only if we have _not_ done it already in
limit_list().
Something like this.
The easiest way to test this is with just
gitk --since=3.days.ago
on the kernel tree. Without this patch, it tends to be pretty obviously
broken.
