The option -r should be before the filename arguments,
and inside the same brackets as -n as they are exclusive.

I suggest this reword:

  	The patches to check can be from stdin, files specified on the command line,
	latest git commits limited with -n option, or commits in the git range
	specified with -r option (default: "origin/master..").

Looks good and very useful, thanks :)
