Indeed, another interesting question is: what will you display if
more than one path exist in the graph from the start revision to
the end revision ?

Do we consider all revisions to be fully-ordered by topo merge
sort (that's more or less implicit right now, it may be good to
make it explicit) (beware of traps in reverse_by_depth).
