I really doubt showing the bottom one specially makes sense.

Why not just read from

	git log '--pretty=%m %h %s' --left-right --topo-order A...B

and show N top commits from each?

I've already said that I do not think applying the same limit to
new/deleted/modified cases makes sense, so commenting on this
part might be a moot point, though.
