Indeed, unlike the option parsing for most commands, "rev-list" and
"log" family of commands in the oldest part of the system still use
hand-crafted option parsing and most notably use atoi() instead of a
more robust strtol() family of functions. The same issue is present
for parsing things like "--max-count=1q" and "--skip=1q".
Perhaps a change along this line, plus a few new tests, would
suffice. There are others (like "--max-age" we see in the post
context of the patch) that use atoi() but they probably should not
share the same machinery (most importantly, the type of the value)
as "--max-count", so I didn't touch it in the below.
