5 * A priority queue implementation, primarily for keeping track of
6 * commits in the 'date-order' so that we process them from new to old
7 * as they are discovered, but can be used to hold any pointer to
8 * struct. The caller is responsible for supplying a function to
9 * compare two "things".
11 * Alternatively, this data structure can also be used as a LIFO stack
12 * by specifying NULL as the comparison function.
16 * Compare two "things", one and two; the third parameter is cb_data
17 * in the prio_queue structure. The result is returned as a sign of
18 * the return value, being the same as the sign of the result of
19 * subtracting "two" from "one" (i.e. negative if "one" sorts earlier
20 * than "two").
