Not really -- it merely gets passed down to the base ref iterator to
indicate that the entries are returned in lexicographic order. But I've
been jumping the gun here: the `reflog_iterator_select()` function does
not ensure lexicographic ordering between the two merged iterators right
now. I was assuming so because I implemented it in the reftable backend
like that. Should've double checked.

It's an easy fix though, which I'll add as another patch on top. Thanks
for making me think twice.

Patrick
