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.
