Description
<MasterDuke> i wonder if it would be useful to have an option like 'releases' or 'all' that just does nqp/moarvm bump commits?
<AlexDaniel> MasterDuke: I was thinking about 2017.07..2017.08 range syntax with an option to test every nth commit
You can already use 2017.07..2017.08, but this will take forever because it will have to test >150 commits.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by locating the code that parses 2017.07..2017.08 ranges and runs commits, then determine how an nth-commit option would fit that flow. Done means the range can select every nth commit instead of testing all more than 150 commits.
