Adds a new option
-a, --author-dateto sort commits by author date (if available) instead of by commit date.NOTE: The commits from the original repositories are not sorted. Hence to work as you expect, you want the author dates of the commits in the original repositories in chronological order. Otherwise, any commits after an out-of-order commit (i.e. that have an earlier author date) won't be sorted correctly anymore.
Also, I'm not familiar enough with git to know if this is a safe operation or not. Some sources suggest that naive sorting by author date may break parent-child relationships.
Closes #6.
