Peff, I think you were the one who did a priority queue previously,
primarily for performance.  The primary reason for this round was so
that I didn't have to touch the revision.c and struct commit in
order to sort by keys in commit-info-slabs and I was not aiming for
performance but a quick and rough benchmarking seems to indicate
that

 - for a small repository like git.git, there is not much difference
   in runtime;

 - but it does seem to cut down the memory pressure (less minor
   faults).

Representative runs of "rev-list --date-order v0.99..v1.8.3" on my
box with 'master' and with these patches spend 0.47user/0.04system
with 0.50elapsed (no time change), with 13450 vs 13108 minor faults
(smaller memory use).
