I am writing a tool that creates deb (as in Debian package format) based distributions from gentoo packages and that tool encodes the CVS revision as part of "debian revision" of the packages. So I need this part to be chronologically ordered, as opposed to have only the knowledge of whenever the file has changed or not.
