And, per issue1484 "--count" needs to count from the *beginning* not from the
end, so that "darcs get --count 100 $SOURCE_REPO" will yield the same resulting
repo even after new patches are added to the $SOURCE_REPO.

<warner> does 'darcs get' have a --count option? I'm not seeing one
<warner> huh, neither does 'darcs pull'. I guess I don't know how to create an
	 r1234 tree without first going to Trac, finding the commit, copying
	 the patch description, and then doing 'darcs get --to-patch=DESC'

Just a UI note: --count is already being used by changes to mean "output the
number of changes".  We could overload it since there's probably little risk of
confusion.  

Otherwise changes uses --index to select some subset of patches (albeit counting
backwards)

Maybe --first N would be good:
  darcs get --first 3032

Also keep in mind the wider context.  We want it to make it easier for people to
interact with tools like trac-darcs.  Is there a better way?

Whoops, this is a duplicate of issue1369
