Yuck.  I just went back and looked at the pack-objects source.

Apparently we only accept ref names and SHA-1 values here, and `--not` on a line by itself. Nothing else is valid.

The documentation is a little misleading, as usually when we say something is processed the same way as rev-list does it we usually also mean that any valid option to rev-list is also a valid option in that context. Here its not.
