Don't we need to have another > option --total-number that overrides the /y part above? I thought about that, too. Isn't the --numbered only useful for submitting a patch series via mail? And isn't it necessary to make certain that these patches really apply in that order? Isn't it then sensible to force the user to have a branch (at least a throw-away one) having exactly these patches, just to make sure that the patches really, really apply in that order? If all that is true, then --start-number && --numbered does not make sense at all.
