I prefer ChangeLog dates to be in temporal order, so I like the rule
you're suggesting. Although Git works wonders with branching time, it
can still be a pain to spelunk when the timestamps aren't linear.

If/when we start generating ChangeLogs automatically, I hope the dates
will continue to be in temporal order.
