RevWalk class

A revision walker for traversing the commit history of a repository.

The revision walker provides a way to traverse the commit history of a repository in various orders and with different filtering options. It's useful for operations like viewing commit history, finding merge bases, or analyzing repository structure.

Example usage:

final repo = Repository.open('path/to/repo');
final walker = RevWalk(repo);

// Configure walker
walker.sorting({GitSort.time, GitSort.reverse});
walker.pushHead();

// Get commits
final commits = walker.walk(limit: 10);
