From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

In the `SPECIFYING RANGES` section of gitrevisions[7], two ways are described to specify commit ranges that `range-diff` does not yet accept: "<commit>^!" and "<commit>^-<n>".

Let's accept them, by parsing them via the revision machinery and looking for at least one interesting and one uninteresting revision in the resulting `pending` array.
