It starts from the commit <COMMIT_HASH>~$count and goes up. So it's basically
depth from the given commit (<COMMIT_HASH>).

It creates patches automatically in the same was as it's done by
`git format-patch`. That's why it accepts a lot of the parameters
which you usually add there.

Typical use for the series is

  ge2maintainer.sh -v 1 -c 4 HEAD~0 --annotate --cover-letter

Note, that your editor should be able to handle several files to edit
(e.g. vim supports that mode).
