Fix some more bugs in git_changelog. 

1. Don't forget the last (oldest) commit on the oldest branch.

2. When considering which commit to print next, if two alternatives have
the same "distortion" score (which is actually the normal case, since
generally the "distortion" is 0), then choose the later timestamp to
print first.  I don't know where Robert got the idea to ignore timestamps
and sort by branch age, but it wasn't a good idea: the resulting ordering
of commits was just plain bizarre anywhere that some branches had many
fewer commits than others, which is the typical situation for us.

# Display all commits on active branches, merging together commits from

# on all branches, and we print them out in that order. However, if commit
# A occurs before commit B on branch X and commit B occurs before commit A
# on branch Y, then there's no ordering which is consistent with both

# When we encounter a situation where there's no single "best" commit to
# print next, we print the one that involves the least distortion of the
# commit order, summed across all branches. In the event of a further tie,
# the commit from the newer branch prints first. It is best not to sort
# based on timestamp, because git timestamps aren't necessarily in order
# (since the timestamp is provided by the committer's machine), even though
# for the portion of the history we imported from CVS, we expect that they
# will be.

# Even though we don't use timestamps to order commits, they are used to
# identify which commits happened at about the same time, for the purpose
# of matching up commits from different branches.
