Well, the expectation (for me, at least) is that --patch matches *a*
patch (the latest match), and --to-patch matches a *set* of patches,
up to and including the latest match.
I suppose that therefore --patch is still susceptible to --reorder,
but I think it's less likely to happen than --to-patch.
I fear I'm not explaining this very well without a chalkboard :-(
