 Rerolled; collides with nd/magic-pathspecs.

Honestly I am not sure what to make of this one.  I'd say we should
merge this down as-is to 'master', expecting that in some future we
would fix "log --follow" to keep the refspecs per history traversal
path, so that this can be more naturally reimplemented.  Objections?

I was really hoping for something like that to happen :-) but I need to
look into at least one segfault bug in the option parser, noticed by
Antoine Pelisse.  Expect a (final?) reroll soon.
