This has no direct equivalent in Git. A lot can be done passing options
to "git rev-list" or so, for example, but I don't think a combination
can be found for your exact example.

The closest I get is:

  git log `git for-each-ref refs/tags/release- --format '%(refname)'` -3

Which lists 3 commits preceeding a tag whose name starts with release-.
