Use
sort.SliceStableinstead ofsort.Sliceto sort commits.Closes #209
What does this do / why do we need it?
This change uses
sort.SliceStableto sort commits: https://pkg.go.dev/sort#SliceStableCurrent implementation uses
sort.Slice, but it's an unstable sort as described in godoc: https://pkg.go.dev/sort#SliceThis results the order of logs indefinite. Especially the order differs when you change
.options.header.patternand the extracted log set changes. I want the order of logs always same. Please refer #209 for an example.How this PR fixes the problem?
sort.SliceStableis a stable sort and the original order is preserved for same priority elements (for example, logs with the same scope). "the original order" is expected to be the commit order.What should your reviewer look out for in this PR?
This change results the log order changed. That means the order of logs in previous releases changes when a developer runs
git-chglogwith this fix for a new release.Please consider whether this is acceptable. If not, I'll introduce a new cli option or configuration option.
(Anyway, the log order can change when the implementation of
sort.Slicein golang is changed...)Check lists
Additional Comments (if any)
There are other lines using
sort.Slice. I believe they don't need to be changed tosort.SliceStableas their sort key is expected to be unique (e.g. Title).Which issue(s) does this PR fix?
fixes #209
