Bug Description
bzr --limit N --forward shows the first N revisions (from revision 1 to N) in reverse order. I think it would be more natural to change --limit N to mean last N revisions when --forward is used.
More advanced users can always used the "head" command to select the first N revisions in reverse order.

Of course "natural" is often subjective....
--limit is very similar to head, it limits the number of revisions shown.
I think what *you* want here is better achieved with:
bzr log --forward -r-<N>..
i.e: log the last N revisions
