title: Sort the network graph both by commit date and topographically
merge_request: 11057
author:
Sort the network graph both by commit date and topographically. - Previously, we sorted commits by date, which seemed to work okay. - The one edge case where this failed was when multiple commits have the same commit date (for example: when a range of commits are cherry picked with a single command, they all have the same commit date [and different author dates]). - Commits with the same commit date would be sorted arbitrarily, and usually break the network graph. - This commit solves the problem by both sorting by date, and by sorting topographically (parents aren't displayed until all their children are displayed) - Include review comments from @adamniedzielski A more detailed explanation is present here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/30973#note_28706230 2017-05-03 05:29:49 -04:00			`---`
