Does git-grep allow searching for a pattern in all files *except*
files matching a pattern. E.g. in our project we have multiple DLL's
in git, but when searching I would like to exclude these for speed. Is
that possible with git-grep?

Not from command line, no. You can put "*.dll" to .gitignore file then
"git grep --exclude-standard".

No rush, but is this something we would eventually want to handle with the
negative pathspec?
