I think Dscho's use case was compare only single updated series of
his with seen that has tons of irrelevant other patches, to have the
command sift the patches belong to other topics away while making
comparison with the older incarnation of his topic.  I never use the
command for such a comparison, but I can imagine that in such a
context lower criteria may help reduce false matches of his new
commits with unrelated commits on 'seen'.
