ref_iterator: keep track of whether the iterator output is ordered
References are iterated over in order by refname, but reflogs are not. Some consumers of reference iteration care about the difference. Teach each `ref_iterator` to keep track of whether its output is ordered. `overlay_ref_iterator` is one of the picky consumers. Add a sanity check in `overlay_ref_iterator_begin()` to verify that its inputs are ordered. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
