The final installment in the tutorial about sorting revision walk
outputs. This commit reverses the commit list, so that we see newer
commits last (handy since we aren't using a pager).

It's important to note that rev->reverse needs to be set after
add_head_to_pending() or before setup_revisions(). (This is mentioned in
the accompanying tutorial.)

This leaves the reader wondering "why that requirement?". Is it
because those functions may change the value or otherwise depend upon
the value?

Also, something this important probably deserves an in-code comment
(and need not be mentioned in the commit message if the in-code
comment explains it well.)

This I will remove. I removed from the tutorial as it turned out I was
incorrect. Thanks.
