fixup! commits are reversed during interactive revise calls
If I have a “base” commit and then several “fixup! base” commits, running an interactive revise will prepare the commit list in the wrong order.

For example, if the commit list is:

    abc123 base commit
    abc456 fixup! base commit
    abc789 fixup! base commit

Then running `git revise -i abc123~` will open an editor with these contents:

    pick abc123 base commit
    fixup abc789 fixup! base commit
    fixup abc456 fixup! base commit

It should have generated this instead:

    pick abc123 base commit
    fixup abc456 fixup! base commit
    fixup abc789 fixup! base commit

I suspect the [this commit](https://github.com/mystor/git-revise/commit/837c779f17522fca0eaf4f8b59f4beefcef2496f) is the culprit.
