The page listed the branch through the timeline, which orders by (date DESC, hash DESC). Two check-ins in the same second tie on date and then order by hash, which has nothing to do with which is the parent. Commits land back-to-back here routinely.

zit hit this in landing show and its fix is the one to inherit: the verb owns no ancestry ordering of its own. A recursive walk from the branch tip, ordered by longest path back, stopping where the branch diverges from its target.

The test commits three times in one second with hashes whose order is the reverse of ancestry — the old sort gets it exactly backwards and looks plausible doing it. check-in: 21fde3240d user: dmestas tags: landings-batch
