Oops, let me be 100% clear about that, "git log -v --grep==<pattern_not_to_match" is NOT WORKING currently. I just presented a possible syntax.

$ git --version
git version 1.7.4.msysgit.0
$ git log -v --grep=Normalized

    Normalized Makfile so that it'll work by default. Include Makefile

see, it ignores the "-v", and include only commits with "Normalized" - the ones I don't want to see.
