$ git log -50 ### I get 50 results
$ git log -50 --grep="*" ### I get a lot more than 50...
shouldn't `-50` minimize the results length to 50 or fewer?

On what git version? On my 2.16.2.804.g6dcf76e118 on git.git this works
as expected:
$ git -c grep.patternType=basic log --oneline -50 --grep="*" |wc -l
50
$ git -c grep.patternType=basic log --oneline -50 | wc -l
50
