When asking for depth 3, I would expect a result of 1,2, or 3 commits.
But when testing the depth argument with a history less than 3, and then
implying: "I got 1, which is less than 3, so the depth works", seems
to be a logical shortcut to me.
I would have expected a history of >3, then ask for 3 and confirm we did not
get 4 or 5 or 6, but 3 only.

I think there is a subtle thing going on, that I did not examine properly but
it is hidden in the modernization from
test 1 = $(something)
to test_line_count = 2
I'll investigate the actual reason.

Thanks for pointing that out, will fix while at it.
