The second one is an example that we could tell the command to read
these three files in patch1 and then patch2 and then patch3.

But this does not match what I would expect here, which would be
to have something like this ...

        if (-e || $_ eq '-') {
	        push @files, $_;
        } else {
		push @rev_args, $_;
	}

... around here, and then tell scan_patch_file that "-" shouldn't be
opened and instead read from the standard input stream, perhaps like

        sub scan_patch_file {
                my ($commits, $file) = @_;
                if ($file eq '-') {
                        $f = \*STDIN;
                } else {
                        open my $f, '<', $file or die "read failure: $file: $!\n";
                }
                scan_patches($commits, undef, $f);
                close $f;
        }

or something.
