Option for topological ordered log tab #2873
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I prefer topological ordering of commits (as seen in git log --topo-order) to chronological ordering in commit logs, as I find it easier to understand the history (without looking at a commit graph) due to the way it groups commits from one branch together
Describe the solution you'd like
This could either be implemented as a keybinding which toggles commit ordering between chronological and topological, or as an entry in a configuration file. (or both).
Though since gitui doesn't have a general config file (that I'm aware of? just the keybindings and theme ones?), the latter might not be the right solution
Describe alternatives you've considered
The git CLI itself has an option for logs to be ordered like this using the --topo-order flag, which can be formatted using the --pretty flag
E.g.
git log --topo-order --date=short --pretty="%Cred%h%Creset %<(20,trunc)%an %Cgreen(%ad)%Creset %s"
It works, and I have an alias for this, but it's a little awkward to use because I have to exit gitui to run it, and then enter back into gitui after. And obviously it'd be better if it was interactive as well
Additional context
I'd be interested in having a go at implementing this myself, though I'm not super familiar with Rust, so some pointers would be helpful
