gitk can show the commits in --date-order which is commits sorted by
Committer Date. -d is a gitk feature, which in turn converts to
--date-order, which is a git-log feature. It is useful to mention.
git-branch, a Javascript based git repo viewer, displays in
--date-order.

There isn't anything _wrong_ with the patch per se, but the current
documentation refers you to rev-list page and limits itself to the most
often used options.
I was waiting to see that many people jumping up and down saying that the
omission of --date-order from the "most often used" set was a grave bug
before applying it. It hasn't happened.

I'm glad we had this thread because I missed this option before ...

Sorry about that. Just adding another layer of indirection. >:-]

The whole motivation for adding this documentation is to show that
gitk has the same sorting function as git-browser. I only learned of
this capability through the irc channel.
As a git newbie, it wasn't obvious to me that "--date-order" was an
available option. It has become my usual parameter when launching gitk
on branch/merge heavy repos. Besides, and more importantly, the
equivalent "-d" is a gitk only parameter that should probably be
documented as well. I had to read the gitk tcl source for that one.
;-)

This thread has helped me finding "-d" (which is gitk-specific). So
here's my vote for the patch, FWIW.
