FWIW, I (as a human) am used to sorted build output when watching the
output of 'buildworld' to gauge how far it has completed.  This was a
feature that SVN broke (CVS would walk directories in sorted order so
you could do the same sort of guessing for 'cvs up' but you can't for
'svn up').  It's not a hard dependency, per se, but it would be nice to
preserve this feature if possible.  I had noticed that it had become
less correct "recently".
