Nope. That gives the same results, almost. $ git log master --oneline --date-order > date-order.txt $ git log master --oneline > commit-order.txt $ diff date-order.txt commit-order.txt Everything identical for the first 8696 commits listed. Only at commit c3d76d56bc there is one change of ordering, and then some others much farther down the list. But the recent commits that I was referring to are shown the same whether --date-order or not. Hmmm Nathan
