Hello,

I suggest  to add a "-q" switch, in order to print only the transaction ID. So 
it easy to reuse the command in a script.
Something like:

   $ sudo ./btrfs subvolume last-gen /snap
   transid marker was 2808

   $ sudo ./btrfs subvolume last-gen -q /snaps
   2808


   $ sudo ./btrfs subvolume find-new /snaps \
         $(  sudo ./btrfs subvolume last-gen -q /snaps ) | \
         head -5

Please,  update the man page (man/btrfs.8.in) too.

Regards
G.Baroncelli
