The earlier description of the '-<n>' option was misleading- the user would have expected to be able to use it to limit the number of commits shown when specifying a revision range, for example. In reality, the option simply instructs the log to walk the topmost <n> commits. Also update the meaning of the same option in the git-format-patch documentation.
