Q:

Imposing a Partial Ordering on Git Commit IDs

I'm converting the infrastructure at my workplace to use git instead of svn.  The overall migration is going well, but we have a tool that I developed to do our SQL schema migrations.  
In order to deal with individual schema change dependencies, the migrations script used subversion keyword replacement to put the last-changed revision number in the schema.  With git, we can't use the same idea, since revision history is non-linear (and we're fully intending on utilizing the branching features). 
Therefore, how do I get a topologically sorted list of commit ids out of git?  Barring that, anyone have a better idea for how to handle this problem? 

A:

git rev-list old-revision..new-revision

That shows newest-first.   If you want oldest-first, add --reverse
