[PATCH v3] revision: allow selection of commits that do not match a pattern

From

We do this by maintaining two lists of patterns, one for those that should match and one for those that should not match.

A negative pattern is specified by putting a '!' in front. For example, to show the commits of Jakub Narebski that are not about gitweb, you'd do a

	git log --author='Narebski' --grep='!gitweb' --all-match
As an added bonus, this patch also documents --all-match.
