+When there are more than `summary-branches` in a repo, the summary page
+trimmed the list by age and then sorted them by name.  Make sorting by
+name optional, though keep it as the default.

+This was requested by a friend for whom I setup cgit.  I don't know if
+it's a worthwhile option or not.  It's handy for me to avoid having to
+patch that install.  Beware, my C is weak.  If there are egregious
+errors in style or content, I won't be shocked or offended to hear
+about them.
