This is not related to your question, but I thought this was a good
chance to point out the --max-count flag (which --max nicely
disambiguates into)

Consider
  p5 by Isaac
  p4 by Eric
  p3 by Isaac
  p2 by Eric
  p1 by Isaac
  p0 by Isaac

--last 3: the last 3 patches (p3..p5)
--max 3 : only 3 patches (p3..p5)
--last 3 --match 'author Isaac':
   from the last 3 patches the ones with Isaac in their author (p3, p5)
--max 3 --match 'author Isaac':
   at most 3 patches with Isaac in their author (p1,p3,p5)
