[RFE] Allow git count to accept a --recent argument

[djberg96]

I see there's a local-commits and count option, but nothing that gives me the number of commits versus the default branch.

This is what I use for that currently: git rev-list --count HEAD ^main

What I would like to be able to do is git count -r/--recent as a shortcut to achieve that.

If such a thing already exists and I've missed it, please let me know and close this.

LGTM

Couldn't --recent be interpreted as what hasn't been pushed yet? I propose that we implement both --recent and --branch. --recent should then count commits between @ and @{upstream}, and --branch as @djberg96 suggests above. Or is it over kill?

@tfendin Works for me. :)

The upstream branch should probably be configurable, especially to support git-flow workflows where the desired branch to compare to would likely be called develop or dev.
