This is good enough (the moment of detection). However, are all cleanups
done? Is temporary directory deleted?

The same questions for the scenario where the user specifies non-existant
commit ID as the start or the end commit.

Does the script work if user specifies a tag, instead of commit ID? I think
it should work. For example, can the user specify v3.1.0 as start commit,
and v4.2.0 as the end commit, in order to detect degradation/improvement
between QEMU 3.1 and QEMU 4.2? Please test if such scenario works. If it
works, I think you should insert "commit ID or tag ID" instead of "commit"
only in the commit massage and applicable code comments (including also the
user-visible help outputed on "-h").

Lastly, what happens if specified start and end commits are existant, but
in the wrong order (end is "before" start)?

Thanks,
Aleksandar
