Description

The DVCS Mercurial allows to commit changesets with configureable, i.e. with "hg ci -d "2222-10-20...", then the next changeset could have a earlier date. Of course, ususally it shouldn't happen, but it can, maybe only seconds but it does. :-)

So the sorting depend on revision number for Mercurial, Git doesn't have numbers (in Redmine), so it can't be used as general setting.

I don't know, if it's a bug or a feature request, feel free to decide that self. ;-)

Examples from 2 repos (the "bad" version is r137):

Revision 4611
Added by Toshi MARUYAMA over 11 years ago

Fixed: repository: mercurial: sort changesets by revision (#3449, #3567).

In DVCS, changesets are not in date order.
Because Mercurial backend inserts changesets from eariest, 'ORDER BY id'
means 'order by revision number'.

#6 Updated by Yuya Nishihara over 12 years ago

It seems we can simply use ORDER BY id. At least, both Subversion and Mercurial insert changesets from earliest.

No! It breaks git backend (#5357.) The patch needs updated to take effect only for Mercurial.

#8 Updated by Toshi MARUYAMA over 11 years ago

These are test repository images of hg-changeset-order.patch at http://www.redmine.org/issues/4455#note-144
