cvsps: use a different tiebreaker to avoid flaky test
After adding some sneaky debug printing[0], I determined that this
test flaked when a CVS commit containing two files starts too close to
the end of a second, thus putting file "a" in one second and "b/c" in
the following second. The secondary sort key meant that these changes
sorted in a different order when the timestamps were different than
they did when they matched. As far as I can tell, CVS walks through
the files in a stable order, so by sorting on the filenames in cvsps
we'll get stable output. It's fine for us to switch from sorting on
the branchpoint as a secondary key because this was already the point
when we didn't care, and we're just trying to break ties in a stable
way. It's unclear to be if having the branchpoint present matters
anymore, but it doesn't really hurt to leave it.
With this change in place, I was able to run test-convert-cvs over 650
times in a row without a failure. test-convert-cvcs-synthetic.t
appears to still be flaky, but I don't think it's *worse* than it was
before - just not better (I observed one flaky failure in 200 runs on
that test).
0: The helpful debug hack ended up being this, in case it's useful to
future flaky test assassins:
