Yes, that's a good idea; the endpoints of a range have to be on the
same branch no matter what, so having the branch: prefix apply to both
of the endpoint patches in "branch:patch1..patch2" is a good idea.

I'm not sure if the comma notation is worth it. And if it turns out to
have been useful, we can just advise users to write

  $ stg foo branch:{p1..p2,p3}

which the shell will expand to

  $ stg foo branch:p1..p2 branch:p3

Indeed.
