Order DiffCommits by primary key by default

There are a few places where we are querying for DiffCommits but aren't
providing an ORDER BY clause, so we get them in whatever order the
database provides. SQLite returns them by primary key, but MySQL does
not, which leads to commits being out of order is certain places (such
as the CommitListField in change descriptions).

We always want DiffCommits ordered by primary key, so we make that the
default. Any query in which this is not the case can explicitly provide
an ORDER BY clause.

Ran unit tests.

Order DiffCommits by primary key by default
There are a few places where we are querying for DiffCommits but aren't providing an `ORDER BY` clause, so we get them in whatever order the database provides.

We *always* want DiffCommits ordered by primary key, so we make that the default. Any query in which this is not the case can explicitly provide an `ORDER BY` clause.

    I'd feel more comfortable if we asserted the exact order of the commits we get back. There are many sort orders in which this statement could still be true.
